Dear Sam,

I refer to your application dated 28 October 2018, in which you seek access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) as per your email below.

Information considered irrelevant to the scope of your request

The AFP, in its management of FOI requests, excludes the following information on the basis that is irrelevant to the scope of a request:

- Names of AFP members, other than the Senior Executive.
- Direct telephone numbers, signatures and mobile telephone numbers of AFP members.
- Duplicate documents, including duplicate emails. The AFP will only provide emails where they form a final email chain and the authors/recipients are contained within the final email.
- Information that is publicly available, for example, newspaper articles, online publications including information available on the AFP Information Publication Scheme and the AFP disclosure log.

If you object to the AFP excluding any of the above information, please advise this office within seven days of receipt of this letter.

Timeframe

Your request was received by this agency on Select a date, and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date.

Charges

You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation to your request as soon as practicable.

Information Publication Scheme

Please be advised that effective 1 May 2011 and in accordance with section 8(2) of the Act, an agency is required to publish information on the AFP website following the notification of a decision in respect of a freedom of information request. Details of the decision will be published in a Disclosure Log which can be found at http://www.afp.gov.au/about-the-afp/info....

The requirement to publish information released under FOI reinforces the objectives of the FOI Act to promote a pro-disclosure culture across government and to increase recognition that information held by government is a national resource. Exceptions to the requirement to publish information would apply to personal information and information concerning the business affairs of a person if it was considered ‘unreasonable’ to do so.

If, however, after noting the above, you wish to raise any concerns about the publication of information concerning your request prior to the notification of a decision, please advise this office in writing before 27 November 2018.

Regards,

From: Sam [mailto:[FOI #4920 email]]
Sent: Sunday, 28 October 2018 12:39 PM
To: FOI
Subject: Freedom of Information request - Search Warrants

Dear Australian Federal Police,

I wish to request any and all information, rules, instructions, regulations or similar held or used by the AFP, or anyone acting on their behalf, which relates to:

a) the identification or classification of Lawyer and Law Practice or any other person or group of people, for which a warrant (as prescribed by Division 4C of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979) would be required; or

b) the identification or classification any other person or group of people for which the rules, instructions, regulations or similar are different than the rules, instructions, regulations or similar of the general Australian populace.

I also wish to request any rules, instructions, regulations or similar which dictate the manner in which an officer of the AFP may access metadata. This part of the request is not limited to requests pertaining to people belonging to one of the groups above.

If any of the above rules, instructions or otherwise exist, I would believe they would be known to any AFP officers who might have access to metadata (or can grant said access), so I expect this search to be relatively easy to conduct. With that in mind, I request that any fees in relation to this request be waived, as the AFP has recently announced that an investigator with the AFP has recently sought and acquired the call records of a journalist without a warrant.

The AFP are hindered in their ability to perform their work as a result of the loss of trust this has caused in the community, and by showing good faith the AFP may be able to regain some of that trust.

Yours faithfully,

Sam

Dear SAM

Your Freedom of Information Request

I refer to your application dated 28 October 2018 in which you sought
access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act)
regarding telecommunications data.

Upon consideration of your request, the AFP is of the view that your
request will take longer than 30 days to process.  The delay is
regrettable, however, although the documents are currently being reviewed,
further time will be required to assess the documents in accordance with
the Act.  It will, therefore, not be possible to advise you of a decision
by 27 November 2018.

Accordingly, pursuant to section 15AA of the Act, I seek your agreement to
extend the period to notify you of a decision to 27 December 2018.

I would be grateful if you would advise this office in writing of your
agreement to the proposed extension of time. 

If you have any queries in relation to this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact this office.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sam

I write to advise that on 29 November 2018 the Office of the Australian

Australian Federal Police (the AFP) for an extension of time, to process

o On 22 November 2018, you were contacted regarding an extension of time
under s 15AA of the FOI Act. The AFP advises a response from you was
not received.

o Additional time is required for processing of your request and to
finalise the matter.

The has requested an extension to 11 January 2019. I will take any
comments you may have to make into account when deciding the application.

Please respond to this email by close of business 10 December 2018. If I
do not hear from you by this date, I will proceed to make a decision on
the basis of the information provided to me by the AFP.

You will be notified of the decision once the matter has been finalised.

Further information about extension of time requests may be found on our
website at [2]FOI Fact Sheet 16 - Extensions of time.

Dear Sam

I refer to your application for Information Commissioner review (IC
review) of a decision by the Australian Federal Police (the AFP) that was
deemed to have been made on 11 January 2019 and to my email of 8 February
2019 (see below).

On 8 February 2019, I wrote to you to advise that on 8 February 2019, the
AFP notified the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (the
OAIC) it had made a substantive decision in relation to the documents you
requested and asked whether you wished to withdraw or proceed with your IC
review application. To date, no response has been received from you.

Can you please notify us by 28 February 2019, whether you wish to:

o withdraw your IC review application, or
o proceed with the IC review application and make a submission about the
grounds on which you wish to proceed.

I note that s 54W(a)(ii) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 provides
that the Information Commissioner may decide not to undertake an IC review
where an applicant fails to cooperate in progressing an IC review
application without reasonable excuse. Should we not receive a response
from you to this email by 28 February 2019, your IC review application may
be finalised by a delegate of the Information Commissioner under s
54W(a)(ii).

If you have any questions regarding this email please contact me on 02
9284 9745 or via email [2][email address]. Please quote OAIC reference
number MR19/00101 in all correspondence.
