I request that these documents be provided in electronic format where possible. If certain documents are exempt from release, I request that you provide an index of these documents along with the reasons for exemption as required by the FOI Act.

Please advise of any charges that may apply for the processing of this request. Please also let me know if you require any further clarification that may assist in locating and compiling the information.

Dear Ms Torrens

 

Thank you for your email of 11 July 2024 in which you made a request under
the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) to the Department of the
Prime Minister and Cabinet (the Department).

 

You set out the terms of the request as follows:

 

I am seeking access to documents within the Department of the Prime
Minister and Cabinet that detail Australia's support for Palestine. My
request specifically includes:

 

Policies and Directives: All current policies and directives related to
Australia’s humanitarian, financial, and diplomatic support for Palestine.

 

Agreements and Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs): Copies of all
agreements, MOUs, and any other formal arrangements made between the
Australian government and Palestinian authorities or international bodies
supporting Palestine from January 2000 to 11 July 2024.

 

Financial Transactions and Aid Details: Detailed account transactions and
financial records showing any form of support or aid provided to Palestine
by the Australian government, including humanitarian aid, development aid,
financial grants, and specifically aid in the form of food, water, medical
supplies, and the dispatch of humanitarian workers.

 

Correspondence: Copies of correspondence between Australian government
officials and Palestinian authorities or representatives that discuss or
relate to the support provided by Australia.

 

Reports and Briefings: All reports, briefings, and assessments prepared by
or for Australian government departments concerning the impact of
Australian support on the political and humanitarian situation in
Palestine.

 

Minutes of Meetings: Any minutes or records of meetings between Australian
officials and Palestinian authorities or international bodies involved in
Palestinian aid that discuss matters related to the policies, agreements,
and financial transactions listed above.

 

I request that these documents be provided in electronic format where
possible. If certain documents are exempt from release, I request that you
provide an index of these documents along with the reasons for exemption
as required by the FOI Act.

 

Timeframe for receiving your decision

The 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the
day after the Department received your request, you should therefore
expect a decision from us by 12 August 2024.  The processing period of 30
days may be extended in certain circumstances and we will write to you
separately regarding any extension of time.

 

Charges

Agencies may decide that an applicant is liable to pay a charge in respect
of a request for access to documents. If the Department decides that you
are liable to pay a charge, we will send you a preliminary assessment of
the charge as soon as possible.

 

Publication of documents

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log at
[1]https://www.pmc.gov.au/government/depart...,
subject to certain exceptions. If you think you might wish to raise any
objections to the publication of any of the information which may be
released to you please contact us by email at [2][DPMC request email].  If you
do wish to object to the publication of information, you would need to
provide supporting reasons.

 

Exclusion of officers’ names and contact details

For documents that fall within scope of the request, it is the
Department’s policy to withhold:

·        any person’s signature;

·        the names and contact details of Australian Public Service
officers not in the Senior Executive Service (SES);

·        the mobile or direct numbers of SES officers;

·        the names and contact details of Ministerial staff at a level
below Chief of Staff.

 

If you consider that the information categorised above is relevant to the
terms of your request please let us know at [3][DPMC request email], otherwise
we will take it that you agree to that information being excluded from the
scope of your request (that is, the information will be treated as
irrelevant and deleted from any documents for release). The names and
other details of SES officers will not be withheld unless there is some
reason for that information to be exempt from release.

 

Further information on FOI processing can be found at the website of the
Office of the Australian Information Commissioner

Dear Lianna,

Subject: FOI Request Reference: FOI/2024/218.

Thank you for your comprehensive response to my Freedom of Information request concerning the Australian government's interactions and support related to Palestine. I appreciate the Department's clear communication regarding the processing and potential charges associated with my request.

I understand the timeframe for a decision is set for 12 August 2024, and I look forward to your updates. Should there be any extensions necessary, I appreciate your commitment to informing me in advance.

Regarding the charges, I am prepared to review the preliminary assessment and will address any concerns or queries directly once the details are provided.

I also acknowledge your policy regarding the exclusion of certain personal details in the documents to be released. I agree with this approach and understand the necessity of protecting individual privacy, particularly for officers not in the Senior Executive Service. Unless specifically required, I am comfortable with excluding this information from the scope of my request.

Furthermore, I am aware of the potential publication of the information on the department’s disclosure log and will review the material before raising any objections. Should there be any concerns regarding the published content, I will reach out via the appropriate channels.

Thank you once again for handling my request with attention to detail and professionalism. Please do not hesitate to contact me if further clarification is needed at any stage of the process.

In good will and good faith, without malice, discrimination or prejudice.

Warm regards,

Deborah-May

Dear Ms Torrens

 

I write in relation to your FOI Request in the following terms (revised):

 

Narrowing the Timeframe: I will limit the scope of my request to documents
created or received between January 2023 and July 2024. This should
substantially reduce the volume of documents and focus the search on more
recent materials.

Specific Document Types: Instead of requesting a wide range of documents,
I will focus on formal correspondence, briefings, and submissions
specifically related to Australia's support provided to Israel and
Palestine, as well as any communications sent to the United Nations on
these matters.

Clarification of Departmental Relevance: I understand that not all aspects
of my request may fall within the purview of the Department of the Prime
Minister and Cabinet. Therefore, I am particularly interested in documents
prepared by or for the Prime Minister, including any advice provided by
your Department regarding Australia’s position on Israel and Palestine in
international forums.

 

Apologies for the delay in processing your request, the Department has
undertaken fresh searches for documents related to your revised request.
Unfortunately, the scope is still too broad to process and we require some
additional information from you to enable us to conduct more targeted
searches.

 

In relation to your request for “formal correspondence, briefings, and
submissions specifically related to Australia's support provided to Israel
and Palestine”, it would assist if you could specify what kind of support
you are seeking information on, for example, financial, humanitarian/aid,
military or political etc.  Please be advised DFAT is the lead agency for
communications to the UN not PM&C.

 

Regarding “documents prepared by or for the Prime Minister, including any
advice provided by your Department regarding Australia’s position on
Israel and Palestine in international forums”, it would be helpful if you
could define which international forums you are seeking the communications
from. It is noted that Australia is a member of a number of multilateral
and regional forums.

 

Once you are able to provide a bit more clarification around the scope of
your request we will be able to better identify the documents in our
searches.

 

Feel free to contact us should you have any questions about the processing
of your request.

 

Kind regards
