Dear Mr Stewart

 

We write to acknowledge receipt of your request, under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), seeking the following documents:

 

                I request the data referred to in this article -
[1]https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/lon...
and comparable data up to this date, as well as the data source.

 

The Treasury received your request on 18 February 2024. The FOI Act
provides that we have 14 days to acknowledge, and 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.

Dear Mr Stewart,

 

I refer to your FOI 3545, seeking access to data that was released by
Treasury in relation to the impacts of long COVID on labour markets.  

 

Due to the capacity constraints, it has become apparent that we require
additional time to effectively process your request. The relevant branch
is dealing with a high workload and will be further stretched with
upcoming forecasting rounds for the Federal Budget. We seek your agreement
to a 24-day extension of time to process the request. Under section 15AA
of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) you can agree to extensions
of up to 30 days.

 

We would be grateful for your response by COB Thursday 29 February 2024.
The current statutory timeframe is 19 March 2024. The extension of time
would extend the deadline to 12 April 2024. We apologise for any
inconvenience this delay may cause.

 

Kind regards,
