Dear Australian Federal Police,
Under the FOI Act I request the following documents:
PowerPoint slides used to provide training on people smuggling at the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation. Please limit this request to the years 2008 to 2010.

The 2009-2010 AFP Annual Report provides that:
"The AFP conducted 14 training programs on people smuggling during 2009-10 at the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation in Semarang."

Dear Mr Hirsch
YOUR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
I refer to your application dated 23 May 2019, in which you seek access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) as follows:
Under the FOI Act I request the following documents:
PowerPoint slides used to provide training on people smuggling at the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation. Please limit this request to the years 2008 to 2010.
As an example of the training I am referring to, the 2008-2009 AFP Annual Report provides that:
"The AFP has conducted three training programs on people smuggling at the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation in Semarang."
The 2009-2010 AFP Annual Report provides that:
"The AFP conducted 14 training programs on people smuggling during 2009-10 at the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation in Semarang."
I would like a copy of the PowerPoint slides used for those training programs.
Timeframe
Your request was received by this agency on 23 May 2019, and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date. The due date for your request is 22 June 2019.
Information considered irrelevant to the scope of your request
The AFP, in its management of FOI requests, excludes the following information on the basis that is irrelevant to the scope of a request:
- Names of AFP members, other than the Senior Executive.
- Direct telephone numbers, signatures and mobile telephone numbers of AFP members.
- Duplicate documents, including duplicate emails. The AFP will only provide emails where they form a final email chain and the authors/recipients are contained within the final email.
- Information that is publicly available, for example, newspaper articles, online publications including information available on the AFP Information Publication Scheme and the AFP disclosure log.
If you object to the AFP excluding any of the above information, please advise this office within seven days of receipt of this email/letter.
Charges
You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation to your request as soon as practicable.
Information Publication Scheme
Please be advised that effective 1 May 2011 and in accordance with section 8(2) of the Act, an agency is required to publish information on the AFP website following the notification of a decision in respect of a freedom of information request. Details of the decision will be published in a Disclosure Log which can be found at https://www.afp.gov.au/about-us/informat....
The requirement to publish information released under FOI reinforces the objectives of the FOI Act to promote a pro-disclosure culture across government and to increase recognition that information held by government is a national resource. Exceptions to the requirement to publish information would apply to personal information and information concerning the business affairs of a person if it was considered ‘unreasonable’ to do so.
If, however, after noting the above, you wish to raise any concerns about the publication of information concerning your request prior to the notification of a decision, please advise this office in writing before 22 June 2019.

Dear Mr Hirsch
I refer to your application dated 23 May 2019 in which you seek access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) as noted in the email below.
Upon consideration of your request, the AFP is of the view that your request will take longer than 30 days to process. The delay is regrettable, however, I am currently awaiting advice from a line area regarding the existence of any documents, therefore it will not be possible to advise you of a decision by 22 June 2019.
Accordingly, pursuant to section 15AA of the Act, I seek your agreement to extend the period to notify you of a decision to 22 July 2019.
I would be grateful if you would advise this office in writing of your agreement to the proposed extension of time.
If you have any queries in relation to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
