Dear Aleksander,

YOUR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

I refer to your application dated 20 August 2018 in which you seek access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) as follows:

"I would like to make a Freedom of Information request to allow me to have all information of past and current Police prosecutions against me. I would like to have all information from the Police released to me as is legally required by law."

Information considered irrelevant to the scope of your request

The AFP, in its management of FOI requests, excludes the following information on the basis that is irrelevant to the scope of a request:

- Names of AFP members, other than the Senior Executive.
- Direct telephone numbers, signatures and mobile telephone numbers of AFP members.
- Duplicate documents, including duplicate emails. The AFP will only provide emails where they form a final email chain and the authors/recipients are contained within the final email.
- Information that is publicly available, for example, newspaper articles, online publications including information available on the AFP Information Publication Scheme and the AFP disclosure log.

If you object to the AFP excluding any of the above information, please advise this office within seven days of receipt of this letter.

Disclosure of your Identity

In addition, should the AFP be required to consult with third parties in accordance with the sections 26A (Commonwealth/State information), 27 (business affairs) and 27A (personal information) of the Act, do you have any objections to those parties/organisations knowing your identity for the purposes of the consultation? If we do not receive your consent or do not receive a response, we will not disclose your identity to third parties. 

Photographic Identification

As outlined on the FOI request form which can be accessed from the AFP Website, it states: “if you are seeking access to your personal information, please include a photocopy of your passport or driver’s licence or other form of photographic identification. This personal information must be supplied if you are seeking access to personal information.”
I note that you have requested information in relation to yourself . To ensure that personal information is not inappropriately released to someone other than yourself, we request that you provide a form of photographic identification, such as a copy of your driver’s licence or passport, to verify your identity. If you do not supply us with a copy of your identification, the information may be exempt and we will not be able to release documents to you.
Please provide your identification as soon as possible by return email or by post to:

Freedom of Information Team
Operations Support
GPO Box 401
Canberra ACT 2601

Timeframe

Your request was received by this agency on 20 August 2018, and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date.

You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation to your request as soon as practicable.

Yours sincerely
