Good afternoon Mr Knight
The ABC refers to your email attached, would you kindly confirm this is a
request made under the Freedom of Information Act (Cth) 1982?
We understand you may seek documents about the publication of this
statement:
[1]https://about.abc.net.au/statements/stat...
Your email states: “…access to all discussions between … [staff] about the
formulation and publishing of the below statement”. A discussion is not a
document that can be searched for.
Would you kindly confirm whether you are happy with this wording instead,
or if you would like any changes:
Under the Freedom of Information Act (Cth) 1982, I seek access to
documents between the Managing Director’s office and the ABC’s Strategy
and or Communications’ team about preparing and publishing this statement:

ABC FOI 202324-060
Good morning Mr Kight
The ABC has not heard from you since you sent the below email (18 January).
On 25 January 2024, the FOI team emailed you to help you make a valid request including proposing a scope that would comply with the legislation and allow document searches to be conducted. You did not respond to that email.
The below wording does not comply with the requirements of section 15 of the Freedom of Information Act (Cth) and as such is invalid.
The ABC has now closed this file as invalid as our attempts to assist you under section 15 have been unsuccessful.
If you wish to progress an FOI request at a later stage, please email or phone us when it suits you.
Many thanks,
ABC FOI team
