forced relocation of public servants to Armidale
Dear Minister for Agriculture,
This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.
I refer to the Canberra Times article dated 11 September 2016 titled 'Barnaby Joyce won't release analysis of forced relocation of public servants to Armidale', at the following URL:
http://www.canberratimes.com.au/national...
This request is for the whole document referred to in that article, being a 'cost-benefit analysis of the effects of his decision to move 175 public servants from Canberra to Armidale.'
I exclude from this request the contact details of all, in addition to the names of any departmental staff below the SES level.
Yours faithfully,
Sarah Van Winkle

Right To Know was recently contacted by the department because they noticed a number of requests on the site that they hadn't received. When the department changed its web and email addresses in late 2015 the old email addresses continued to accept mail but were not configured to forward mail to their new addresses. This means the email was being successfully delivered by Right To Know but not reaching the department.
We've updated the department's details on Right To Know and have resent all affected requests, including this one.
Cheers,
Henare
