Dear Melissa
Section 68A of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 exempts parliamentary
departments and people holding or performing the duties of an office
established under that Act from the definition of a prescribed authority
under the FOI Act. This has the effect that the Senate department is
exempt from the FOI act requirements. However, the department complies
with the intent of the FOI Act for administrative documents and as such we
have compiled the information requested below:
