Submitted expenses for payment - US election 2024
Dear Australian Broadcasting Corporation,
I write under the FOI Act to request, in respect of the ABC's coverage of the 2024 US election, a table summarising submitted expenses for payment by the ABC broken down into flights, accommodation and other and any out of pocket expenses for Mr David Speers, Ms Sarah Ferguson and any support crew who assisted with coverage in the US [up until 13 January 2025].
This request follows on from a previous request of mine - file number ABC FOI 202425-062. Your team advised me that, as my previous request was made before the election (Australian time), it was likely that not all expenses were submitted by then.
My previous request is available at this URL - https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/a...
Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Yours faithfully,
Gary
ABC FOI 202425-082
