Dear Australian Postal Corporation,

I note recent media reports indicating that Australia Post “threatened to call police unless the City of Melbourne delivered more than 100 of Pauline Hanson's One Nation-branded stubby holders to every apartment in a locked-down suburban public housing tower in July.”

I would like to request all written and electronic documents that relate to the delivery of these items, including but not limited to data stored in corporate systems such as email/CRM/corporate chat platforms, paper records, and data stored on mobile phones (including but not limited to SMS, WhatsApp and other chat applications).

The search period is from July 2020 to present.

Please consult with me if you wish to apply any s.22 redactions based on privacy of employees.

I would respectfully draw the attention of the FOI officer to section 1.46 and sections 3.2 - 3.5 of the Freedom of Information Guidelines issued by the OAIC. I am open to administrative release of the above documents.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Fairless

Dear Anna,

Sure, happy to provide my name (the request is public).

I’m also happy to agree to your earlier request to exclude duplicate documents and email chains where a single email chain can be provided that includes all parts of the chain.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairless

Dear Anna,

Can you let me know the status of the consultation? I trust that Australia Post is taking all reasonable steps to facilitate consultation without causing this request to be delayed.

If possible, can you also provide more information about the 3rd party? For example, do they work for a political party, are they an employee of a government agency, an individual or an employee or a company? This information may assist in deciding if the name of the person can be removed under s.22.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairless

Dear Anna,

Thanks. Just confirming the third-party had no issues with their name been disclosed?

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairless

Dear Caitlin,

Thank you for your email. I would appreciate if you could arrange for the documents to be sent in tranches via email to this address instead of uploading them to a third party service. Right to Know exists to be a public archive of FOI requests.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairless

Dear Caitlin,

Can you please send a link to [email address].

I’ll then arrange to get them uploaded to Right to Know.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Fairless
