of Information Act 1982:
1. Current social media policy of the department, which covers
departmental use and/or private use by employees in an individual
capacity.
2. Any current guidance material which is available for employees to make informed decisions about their private social media use.
Yours faithfully,
James Smith
Sent request to Geoscience Australia again, using a new contact address.
Dear Mr Smith
We refer to the attached email of 28 January 2017 received by the
Department of Industry, Innovation and Science (the department).

Looks like we had an old email address for the FOI team, but the email was still accepted. Quite odd.
I've updated the address and resent all requests.
