Dear Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development's handling of my FOI request 'Removal/ revocation of the E&EC – Ethics and Conduct Committee by CASA, on/about 21st September 2016'.
That in internal documents, the Department has a responsibility for funding and is the responsible body for submissions to Parliament for increases in AVGAS and AVTUR levies. Hence these documents or directive documents must exist in the records of the Department.
Please review the existence of these records.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/r...
Yours faithfully,
Rob Cumming
Dear FOI,

Dear Mr Cumming
The Department has received your correspondence below and attached.
It is not clear to which decision your request for review relates. Your two requests to this Department are:
FOI 17 -54 - CASA Ethics and Conduct Committee; and
FOI 17-55 - Expenditure of Funds allocated to CASA.
Your reasons for review below appear to refer to 17-54 and then provide reasons associated only with 17-55. Additionally, the intended message of your attached correspondence is not clear.
Grateful if (using the FOI 17-54 or FOI 17-55) you would please clarify the decision you seek to be reviewed.
No further action will be undertaken until we receive this clarification. Grateful if you would also provide any relevant information as to why the Department would hold the Documents you seek. Please consider the information provided in Paragraph 8 of the Decision on FOI 17-55.
