Dear Freedom of Information,
Thank you for your decision and access to the 3 documents. I guess the release will be subject to a Disclosure Log entry at some stage.
Tourism Australia has chosen to ignore the following part of the FOI application:
" access to the document or documents that contain details of the determination made by Tourism Australia not to publish information about the three documents in its Disclosure Log".
Given the information now available I consider it highly unlikely that documents within scope exist. In the circumstances I withdrawn this portion of the FOI Application.
Yours sincerely,
JS
