Subject: Freedom of Information request - forced relocation of public
servants to Armidale [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

 

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:

 

[3]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
