Dear Victorian Department of Jobs, Precincts, and Regions (DJPR),
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic), I request that I be granted access to the following information:
a) 2017 - 2022 - A list of all instances, Australia-wide, state by state, of rain-making programs, including geographical locations, dates/range of dates administered and chemicals used in administration of those programs.
b) 2017 - 2022 - A list of all instances, Australia-wide, state-by-state, of weather manipulation using HAARP technology, including geographical locations and dates/range of dates administered.
Paying the $30.10 fee would cause me financial hardship and as proof of my limited financial capability I quote my CRN: [redacted]

Dear Ms Goodman,
I refer to your request received on 16 November 2022 by the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (DJPR) seeking documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
Your reference ID is: 8662
I note you have indicated payment of the $30.60 application fee, which required for a request to be valid under s 17(2A) of the FOI Act, would cause you hardship. Thank you for providing your CRN. As DJPR is a state based entity, and CRNs are issued by a Commonwealth entity, we are unable to verify this information. In order to progress this matter, a copy of proof of financial hardship, such as a copy of your concession card, must be provided prior to COB Thursday 8 December 2022.
If the department does not receive evidence of financial hardship before the due date, we will presume you do not wish to proceed with the request and the matter will be closed.
Please feel free to contact the FOI unit at [email address] if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,
Freedom of Information Unit
