Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

This is a Freedom of Information Request for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

On July 2 2024, the Australian Financial Review published the article "‘A cruel joke’: Why AUKUS might leave Australia stranded" (accessible here: https://www.afr.com/policy/foreign-affai... ) by James Curran. The article states the following"

"Their briefing to PM&C offered a list of risks to the project they say should prompt thinking about a plan B"

I seek access to the briefing provided to PM&C by the group informally referred to as Submarines for Australia in this article.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Pentland
