Dear P Johns
FOI REQUEST – REFERENCE NUMBER ABC FOI 201920-010
I refer to your request for access to documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).
I have taken reasonable steps to identify and retrieve all documents
relevant to your request, and as a result of those searches, nine
documents have been sent to me for assessment.
In my view, several of those documents contain information about a person
who might reasonably wish to make a contention that the documents are
conditionally exempt under section 47F (personal privacy) or 47G (business
information) of the FOI Act, and that access to that document would, on
balance, be contrary to the public interest for the purposes of section
11A(5).
In those circumstances, I am required to give each of these individuals a
reasonable opportunity to make submissions in support of such a
contention, and to have regard to any submissions that are made.
The ABC was to have made a decision in this matter by 30 August 2019. In
accordance with section 15(6) of the FOI Act, the period of time to notify
you of a decision is extended by a further period of 30 days to enable
that consultation to occur. This means that, subject to any suspension of
the processing period or further extension of the time for deciding this
application, the ABC is required to make a determination in relation to
this application by 30 September 2019.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss this matter
further.
Kind regards
Juliana

Dear P Johns
An update on the below – more documents were found to be in scope of your

Several of those documents also required consultation with affected third

Dear Juliana Walsh,
Just wondering how you were going with releasing those messages? It has been some time.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Juliana Walsh,
Out of courtesy im letting you know Im reffering this as a complaint to the information commissioner. There is no reasonable excuse that would cause this delay.
Yours sincerely,
P Johns
