Dear Australian Taxation Office,

On 19 February, you refused an FOI request by me in relation to SQL queries used to extract statistics related to penalties for the Inspector-General of Taxation (your reference 1-7N10Z46).

In your refusal letter, you refer to the release of the SQL queries as posing a risk to the security of the ATO's IT systems.

Please provide documents containing the expert IT security advice that informed this decision.

Yours faithfully,

Patrick Conheady

In our initial decision for this request we inadvertently released some
