Dear FOI,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to confirm that I would still like to have my application processed under the terms I have submitted.
I would also like to have an assurance that the decision maker allocated this application will make a decision independent to the document and decision you provided me (FOI 3116), particularly with reference to matters the Department believes is exempt under Division 3 of the Act.
I expect to be provided detailed explanation for redactions made using these exemptions and how they meet a public interest test.
Yours sincerely,
JH

Dear JH,
Thank you for your response below.
The Treasury received your request on 27 July 2022 and will process it.
The Freedom of Information Act 1982 provides that we have 30 days to
process the request. This period may be extended if we need to consult
third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
We will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the
amount of any such charge as soon as possible.
We make the following assumptions that affect the scope of the request.
These are set out below.
It is our usual practice:
· not to disclose the personal information of government employees
or the personal contact details of senior government employees (including
those of the Treasury). The names of senior officers will generally be
released.
· not to release duplicates of any document captured within the
scope of the request.
· only the final version of a document will be considered within
scope.
Please inform us if you do not agree to the request being processed on the
above assumptions. If we do not hear from you, your request will be
processed on the basis that these documents are outside the scope of your
request.
We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.
If you have any questions in relation to your application, please contact
the FOI Team on 02 6263 2800.
Kind regards
