Dear Mr Doig,
I refer to three requests that you have submitted with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, two dated 29 June 2017 and one dated 4 July 2017.
I note that the requests dated 29 June 2017 are the same request, with one sent to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the other to the Australian Border Force. On 1 July 2015 the functions of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service were integrated into a new Department. The Australian Border Force (ABF) was established as a new front-line agency within the Department. Requests for access to documents held by the ABF are processed by the Department. Therefore you have lodged a duplicate request to the same agency and we are seeking your withdrawal of the duplicate request sent to the ABF.
In regards to the request sent on 4 July 2017 which has been allocated the FOI request number FA 17/07/00010, we note the wording is very similar to the request lodged below on 29 June 2017. As the requests are similar and would likely capture the same documents, we seek your clarification on whether you are happy withdraw similar requests or modify the wording to create one request that would capture all documents you are seeking access to, in relation to that particular subject matter.
It would assist the Department in managing it's FOI caseload if you could please respond COB Friday 21 July 2017.
