I request all documents created in the last 12 months which address patronage and nepotism in ATO recruitment processes. This includes matters such as:

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require clarification.

Dear Ms Van Winkle
Thank you for your email to the FOI mailbox. We will consider your request
and respond as soon as possible.
FOI requests are required to be processed within 30 days from the date we
receive an application. While we aim to achieve this timeframe, certain
requests that are large or involve complex issues may take longer. If this
is the case we will contact you to discuss when the material can be made
available. Further, unless your request is for personal information,
charges may apply depending on the size and complexity of your case.
We will notify you if there are charges and what those charges will be. We
will obtain your consent to any additional charges before processing the
