Tony Abbott's Personal expenses claims
Dear Department of Finance,
I request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 all documents that concern and/or refer to Tony Abbott’s personal expenses. This appertains to a number of incidents, most notably, the weddings of Sophie Mirabella in June 2006 and Peter Slipper in August 2006. Both of which Tony Abbott attended. I also refer to the claims that were made in 2011 for an Iron Man Challenge in Port Macquarie, NSW.
I request,
a) Any relevant paper work of the claims stated above and any records concerning Tony Abbott’s payment.
b) Monthly management report records for the months of June, August 2006 and October 2011.
c) All relevant records of certification Tony Abbott made for any expenses which were incurred throughout the duration of the events mentioned above.
As this information is in the public interest I believe that the costs be waived for the processing of this request and the release of this information will help with the understanding of these personal expenses.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Roshani Adelt

Thank you for your email to the Department of Finance (Finance) requesting
access to the following under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI
Act).
... all documents that concern and/or refer to Tony Abbott’s personal
expenses. This appertains to a number of incidents, most notably, the
weddings of Sophie Mirabella in June 2006 and Peter Slipper in August
2006. Both of which Tony Abbott attended. I also refer to the claims that
were made in 2011 for an Iron Man Challenge in Port Macquarie, NSW.

records concerning Tony Abbott’s payment.
b) Monthly management report records for the months of June,
August 2006 and October 2011.
c) All relevant records of certification Tony Abbott made for any
expenses which were incurred throughout the duration of the events
mentioned above.
In a letter of 5 March 2015, Finance provided you with a section 24AB
notice. The letter outlined that Finance deemed the scope of your request
too large to process as the work involved would substantially and
unreasonably divert the resources of the agency from its other
operations. The letter indicated that within 14 days after the day you
received the notice, you were required to either withdraw the request;
make a revised request or indicate that you did not wish to revise the
request.
As Finance has not received a response from you within the timeframe
indicated, your request is now deemed withdrawn as prescribed by
subsection24AB(7) of the FOI Act.
Please contact the Finance FOI Team, on the below details, if you have any
queries regarding this request.
