Dear Mr Miles,
Re: Freedom of Information Internal Review Decision
We refer to your request dated 11 May 2021 for internal review of the
Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman’s (IGTO) decision
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
Background
On 12 April 2021, you lodged an FOI request by email requesting all
information regarding:
1) The Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette that
established Jurisdiction and created the Australian Taxation Office.
2) Confirm Income Tax is VOLUNTARY as per section 6 page 23 of the
Taxpayers Charter
3) All court transcripts, records, diaries, metadata, images, recorded
conversations, information held by the Inspector General of Taxation,
Aust Govt Solicitor, Aust Attorney General, Aust Tax in the Supreme Court
case Precedent Moeliker v Chapman
4) Define Income by providing evidence of it in Legislation, Acts,
Imperial UK, Commonweath of Australia until 1985
5) Court materials, costs awarded for & against the ATO involving Special
Council or Queens Council Barrister Mr Logan.
6) Confirm factual evidence Judge in Moeliker v Chapman "Struck from the
record" proof beyond a reasonable doubt the Gazette, unable to locate by
SC Mr Logan for the ATO in the Brisbane Supreme Court Judge also stating
on the record "I can not permit Australia, to fall into financial chaos
and thus strike that from record" in Moeliker v Chapman
7) Explanation in English grammar what the statement by the Judge in
Moeliker v Chapman "and those who sail in her"
On 7 May 2021, you were provided with the FOI decision which stated:
We have reviewed our files and records, the majority of which are held on
our case management system, Resolve. Additionally, we have also considered
and perused our intranet, share drive and the hard copy records that we
hold.
We advise that we have not identified any documents that fall within scope
of your request or that would provide information to answer the questions
you have posed.
On 11 May 2021, the IGTO received a request from you seeking an internal
review of the FOI decision.
Decision and reasons for decision
We have decided to affirm the original decision. For reasons set out
below, we are satisfied that all reasonable steps have been taken to
locate any documents that fall within scope of your request and that no
such documents were identified.
It is noted that a decision was not made to refuse access to information
as described in your request under section 53A of the FOI Act. Rather, the
IGTO was unable to identify or locate any documents relevant to your
request despite searches undertaken. It is also noted that the Moeliker v
Chapman case that is referenced in your original request and request for
internal review pre-dates the creation of the IGTO office in 2003.
Notwithstanding the above, following receipt of your internal review
request, we conducted a further search for documents on our systems,
including keyword and file searches of our Intranet and case management
system, that might relate to your request. None of these searches was able
to locate any documents relevant to your request.
Your rights of review
If you are dissatisfied with this decision, you may apply to the Office of
the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) for a review of the
decision. More information about applying for an Information Commissioner
review is available on the OAIC website at: [2]Information Commissioner
review — OAIC.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this decision further,
please do not hesitate to contact us at [3][email address].
Yours sincerely,
FOI Team
