Freedom of Information Logs - FOI Request
Dear Australian Competition Tribunal,
I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for a complete copy of the departments' Freedom of Information (FOI) logs for the period 2013-2023, including any secondary departments controlled by the agency.
I request that this is provided as a document and not a simple redirect to the agency website as I am of the view that your online disclosure logs do not actively reflect your FOI requests that you have received in this period.
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with this information in an electronic format, such as a PDF or spreadsheet, if possible.
If there are any fees associated with fulfilling this request, please let me know in advance so that I can consider my options.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Watson Norwood

Dear Mr Norwood
I acknowledge receipt of your request for access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) made to the Australian Competition Tribunal (the Tribunal) on 6 May 2023. A copy of your request is below.
On 22 May 2023, with the consent of the Federal Court of Australia (the Court), the Tribunal transferred your request to the Court. The request was transferred to the Court under section 16 of the FOI Act, which provides that an agency can transfer a request if the requested document is not in the possession of the agency but is in the possession of another agency, or if the subject matter of the document is more closely connected with the functions of another agency.
I note that the Tribunal has no physical resources of its own, and that registry services and administrative support for the Tribunal are provided by staff of the Tribunal and the Court. More information about the Tribunal can be found on its website at https://www.competitiontribunal.gov.au/a....
Your FOI request that was made to the Tribunal on 6 May 2023 will now be dealt with by the Court. Based on the Court's preliminary assessment of your FOI request, it has been determined that, at this stage, you are not liable to pay a charge. If that changes, the Court will inform you and will issue you with a notice of charge as required by the FOI Act.
Kind regards
FOI Officer
