Private use of social media advice provided to employees
Dear WA Department of Mines and Petroleum,
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
I request documents related to the ten most recent instances where an employee has sought information, advice, guidance, or opinion on their social media use in a private capacity.
I limit the scope of documents to:
- the original request from the employee
- the agency/department's response
- any follow-up questions and response
- only those sent to a relevant HR / conduct / social media (or similar) team (rather than managers across all areas of the organisation)
- where the original request was created in the last 2 years
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours faithfully,
James Smith
Hello James,
I refer to your Freedom of Information request to the Department of Mines
and Petroleum for information regarding instances where an employee has
sought information, advice, guidance or opinion on their social media use
in a private capacity.
According to section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (WA)
applicants must provide an Australian address. Regulation 4 of the Freedom
of Information Regulations 1993 (‘the Regulations’) requires that an
application fee be paid, which is prescribed in column 2 of Schedule 1 of
the Regulations as $30.
Until these requirements are met, your application is invalid and I cannot
proceed with your application.
Regards,

Locutus Sum left an annotation ()
It can be a problem when an applicant sends out a very large number of requests together in a bulk request. It is very convenient for the applicant when she makes the requests but then when so many responses are received it is inconvenient to work out how to continue ... or even to classify the responses.

Mostly I classify a response like this one to say "clarification requested" because the agency has told the applicant that some more information (and money!) is needed before the request will be processed. This time, I have put the response in the category of "refused" because it is two months when the agency has responded and the applicant has not made a follow-up. This does not mean that the agency will refuse the request when an application is made in the correct (required) way and although I have made the classification of "refused", the applicant can use this same request page if he wishes to pursue the request.
