Delivered

Dear FOI Officer,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to the following documents:

1. A copy of the Department’s assessment and advice provided to the Minister responsible for the Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal (HOSM) that led to the HOSM with ‘Afghanistan’ clasp being awarded to individuals or groups. Please include any supporting documentation, recommendations, or justifications associated with this award.

Please note that I will not agree to any requests for extensions given this is the second time I have been compelled to request the documents given the Department's refusal to honour the first FOI request.

If any part of this request overlaps with previous FOI requests or if any documents are withheld, I request that the Department provide a full statement of reasons for the refusal, consistent with the requirements of the FOI Act.

Should you require further clarification, I am happy to assist.

Yours faithfully,

Trav S
