Online Master Class
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to NBN Co Limited
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear NBN Co Limited,
According to this article (https://www.buzzfeed.com/aliceworkman/it...) the NBN Co appears to have been giving MasterClasses to Australian Parliamentarians and staffers.
This is a request for:
- A copy of the final invite for every online Master Class
- A copy of any recordings created for every Online Master Class.
I’m looking to avoid having to pay fees, so I’m happy to work on my request to refine it if you feel it’s too broad. If you can process it administratively that would be fantastic.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

Dear Paul,
Thanks for your email. In relation to the first part of my request, I’m happy to exclude telephone numbers, conference PIN numbers, and specific web links that provide access to the conference. I’m also happy to exclude the personal contact details of nbn staff, but not their positions within the NBNCo.
I note that this was a briefing provided to politicians, and I don’t consider that the 2nd part of my request is covered by the Commercial Activities Exemption. Please confirm if this material will be released administratively as well?
Yours sincerely,
Ben Fairless

Dear Mr Fairless,
Thank you for the confirmation of your agreement to the redaction of the subject documents.
Upon reviewing the documents, I note that some third party contact details are included. If you are amenable to these third party contact details also being redacted, a third party consultation will not be required, and the application will be able to be dealt with administratively. Please confirm how you would like to proceed in that regard?
Further to your query below, I confirm that there were no recordings responding to the terms of your request.
I note no decision has been made as to release at the present moment.
