Illegal Mind Research
Desmond Last made this Freedom of Information request to Minister for Mental Health and Ageing
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Minister for Mental Health and Ageing,
Why have you not supported the following by bringing it into Australian Law.
In January 1999, the European Parliament passed a resolution where it calls " for an international convention introducing a global ban on all development and deployment of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings. It is our conviction that this ban can not be implemented without the global pressure of the informed general public on the governments. Our major objective is to get across to the general public the real threat which these weapons represent for human rights and democracy and to apply pressure on the governments and parliaments around the world to enact legislature which would prohibit the use of these devices to both government and private organisations as well as individuals." (Plenary Sessions/ EuroParliament, 1999)
Why have you not sought the adoption of the resolution and what is your current position on remote access to the nervous system in particular the NSA. There are plenty of people who have been subject to it who will testify to the heart palpitations and other effects of the intrusion which can affect the nervous system.
Obviously if your organisation knew of persons at risk because of a connection you would no doubt contact them.
I take it as a matter of course that your primary concern is the welfare of the citizens of Australia support my address to the people of Australia when I return shortly.
We cannot have people carry out illegal experimentation can we especially on infants.
Yours faithfully,
Desmond Last

I agree. Welcome to Right to Know.
Now, I am sorry, we have the cold water. A person can understand what is that matter that is of concern to you, but your letter to the Minister is not a request under the Freedom of Information Act. It is just a letter to a politician; it is the sort of letter that is best if you send it yourself from your email or by the Australia Post.
To explain, your letter is not a request under the Freedom of Information Act because it is not a request for a document that might be in the possession of the Minister, and that is the only thing to which the FOI Act applies.
The Right to Know website is very very good for a person who makes a valid FOI request. Also, the FOI law is Australia is better-than-nothing good for a person who wishes to obtain access to a document. Together, Right to Know website and the FOI law can help you to get access to documents ... but they are useless for anything else.
... end of the cold water. Velkommen! Held og lykke!
Dear Mr Last
Thank you for your enquiry to the Commonwealth Department of Health.
A request made under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) is one which seeks access to documents that may be held by a department or portfolio agency. Your enquiry is not seeking access to documents and is therefore is not considered to be a valid request under the FOI Act. As such the department is not able to action your enquiry as a FOI request.
Should you wish to make a FOI request to the department or discuss any FOI related matters the Department's FOI Unit can be contacted via email at [email address] or via telephone on (02) 6289 1666.
Kind regards
FO Officer

Welcome to Right to Know!
There is no longer a Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, however the FOI address for the old Minister for Mental Health and Ageing is the same address as is for the Minister for Health and the Department of Health.
Therefore, hopefully, the Department will continue to process this request :)
Cheers
