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...
