Dear Mr Fairless,

I refer to your email dated 14 November 2018.

Please find attached a copy of the current arrangement which gives lawyers at the Commission the power to make a decision in relation to an FOI request.

I have redacted the President's signature but otherwise provided the document in full.

Please let me know if this satisfies your request.

Kind regards,

Stephanie

Dear Australian Human Rights Commission,

Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to others.

I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if possible.

If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under "administrative release" (https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outl...). This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.

That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If you won't process it informally, please process my request for the document as a formal FOI Request.

Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Fairless
