FOI/2021/028

Dear Trav S

Thank you for your email dated 2 March 2021, received by the Department of
the Prime Minister and Cabinet (the Department), in which you made a
request to the Department under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOI Act) in the following terms:

This is a request for information under the FOI Act.

Palladium Group Pty Ltd is eligible for the HOSM with Phillipines clasp. 
Please release the following documents for public review:

1.   Palladium Group's submission for HOSM eligibility.

2.  Submissions and testimonials from other entities related to Palladium
Group's participation in the eligible relief operation.

Timeframe for receiving your decision

We received your request on 2 March 2021 and the 30 day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 1 April 2021. The period of
30 days may be extended in certain circumstances. We will advise you if
there is any extension of time.

Charges

Agencies may decide that an applicant is liable to pay a charge in respect
of a request for access to documents. If the Department decides that you
are liable to pay a charge, we will send you a preliminary assessment of
the charge as soon as possible.

Publication of documents

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log at
[1]https://www.pmc.gov.au/government/depart...,
subject to certain exceptions. If you think you might wish to raise any
objections to the publication of any of the information which may be
released to you please contact us by email at [2][DPMC request email].  If you
do wish to object to the publication of information, you would need to
provide supporting reasons.

Exclusion of officers’ names and contact details

For documents that fall within scope of the request, it is the
Department’s policy to withhold:

·         any person’s signature;

·         the names and contact details of Australian Public Service
officers not in the Senior Executive Service (SES);

·         the mobile or direct numbers of SES officers;

·         the names and contact details of Ministerial staff at a level
below Chief of Staff.

The names and other details of SES officers will not be withheld unless
there is some reason for that information to be exempt from release. If
you require signatures, the names and contact details of non-SES officers
or Ministerial staff below the level of Chief of Staff, or the mobile or
direct numbers of SES officers please let us know at [3][DPMC request email] so
the decision-maker may consider; otherwise we will take it that you agree
to that information being excluded from the scope of your request (that
is, the information will be treated as irrelevant and redacted from any
documents for release).

We will write again when the Department has more information.  Further
information on FOI processing can be found at the website of the Office of
the Australian Information Commissioner

FOI/2021/028

Dear Trav S

I write in relation to your FOI request dated 2 March 2021, for access
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) in the following
terms:

This is a request for information under the FOI Act.

Palladium Group Pty Ltd is eligible for the HOSM with Phillipines clasp. 
Please release the following documents for public review:

1.   Palladium Group's submission for HOSM eligibility.

2.  Submissions and testimonials from other entities related to Palladium
Group's participation in the eligible relief operation.

Third Party Consultation

We are now writing to you to advise that the request covers one or more
documents which:

·         contain information concerning the business, commercial or
financial affairs of an organisation, or a person’s business or
professional affairs, and the Department is required to consult with the
person or organisation concerned (under section 27 of the FOI Act) before
making a decision on the release of the documents; and

·         contain another individual’s personal information, and the
Department is required to consult with that individual (under section 27A
of the FOI Act) before making a decision on the release of the documents.

The consultation mechanism under section 27 applies when we believe the
person or organisation concerned may wish to contend that the requested
documents are exempt because their release would disclose trade secrets or
commercially valuable information or may adversely affect their business
or financial affairs.

The consultation mechanism under section 27A applies when we believe the
individual (or their representative) may wish to contend that the
requested documents are exempt for reasons of personal privacy.

We will take into account any comments we receive from the person or
organisation, but the final decision about whether to grant you access to
the documents you requested rests with the Department.

Section 15(6) of the FOI Act provides for the extension of the processing
time by a further 30 days in order to allow the Department time to consult
with that organisation or person.

Accordingly, the period for processing the request has been extended by 30
days in order to consult with that person or organisation (section 15(6)
of the FOI Act). You should therefore expect to receive the Department’s
decision on the FOI request by Monday, 3 May 2021 (subject to any other
extensions or suspensions of time allowed under the FOI Act).

You are welcome to contact us anytime.

Yours sincerely

FOI Adviser
