Dear Anastacia Totoeva,
I refer to your previous email. I can advise that I am only seeking

I am not seeking the actual policy documents just a list of the documents held.
I hope this assists you in processing my request.
Yours sincerely,
Daniel Hinds

Australian Human Rights Commission said they would publish "rules, guidelines, practices and precedents" under the Information Publication Scheme by "29 July 2012" https://www.humanrights.gov.au/informati...
They have not done this (at least in any way I can easily find by searching their website) and now a FOI process is required. What a shame.
