Request for mobile communications via mobile applications
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Minister for Human Services as part of a batch sent to 10 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Minister for Human Services,
Can you please provide a copy of all inbound and outbound chats in the 7 days prior to this request that was sent or received from the minister using any of the below applications:
- WhatsApp
- Facebook Messneger
- Signal
- Telegram
- Grindr
- Scruff
- Tinder
- Email Accounts without a .gov.au email address?
Please initially process these requests informally. I understand the AG advised the senate that the communications were "trivial" so I don't anticipate any exemptions being applied. If the request can't be processed informally, please treat it as a formal FOI request.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

Dear FOI.LEGAL.TEAM,
I intend to make a request for IC review of this decision, however before I do that could you clarify if the minister's devices were searched as well as those of staff within his office?
