Two white shoes
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
The following image on the Department's web site shows the Prime Minister wearing two white left shoes:
https://www.pm.gov.au/sites/default/file...
The shoes appear to have been 'photoshopped' over the shoes the Prime Minister was actually wearing.
Under the FOI Act, I request a copy of the original image that the *white* shoe(s) were taken from. I am not seeking the original image of the Prime Minister, I am seeking the image from which the white shoes were taken.
Yours faithfully,
A Citizen

following terms:
The original image that the *white* shoe(s) were taken from. I am not
seeking the original image of the Prime Minister, I am seeking the image
from which the white shoes were taken.
Timeframe for receiving your decision
We received your request on 8 January 2019 and the 30 day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 7 February 2019. The period
of 30 days may be extended in certain circumstances. We will advise you if
there is any extension of time.
Charges
Agencies may decide that an applicant is liable to pay a charge in respect
of a request for access to documents. If the Department decides that you
are liable to pay a charge, we will send you a preliminary assessment of
the charge as soon as possible.
Publication of documents
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log at
[1]http://www.dpmc.gov.au/pmc/accountabilit...,
subject to certain exceptions. If you think you might wish to raise any
objections to the publication of any of the information which may be
released to you please contact us by email at [2][DPMC request email]. If you
do wish to object to the publication of information, you would need to
provide supporting reasons.
Exclusion of officers’ names and contact details
For documents that fall within scope of the request, it is the
Department’s policy to withhold:
· any person’s signature;
· the names and contact details of Australian Public Service
officers not in the Senior Executive Service (SES);
· the mobile or direct numbers of SES officers;
· the names and contact details of Ministerial staff at a level
below Chief of Staff.
The names and other details of SES officers will not be withheld unless
there is some reason for that information to be exempt from release. If
you require any of the above information please let me know so the
decision-maker may consider; otherwise we will take it that you agree to
that information being excluded from the scope of your request (that is,
the information will be treated as irrelevant and redacted from any
documents for release).
I will write again when the Department has more information. Further

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
The following image on the Department's web site shows the Prime Minister
wearing two white left shoes:
[11]https://www.pm.gov.au/sites/default/file...
The shoes appear to have been 'photoshopped' over the shoes the Prime
Minister was actually wearing.
Under the FOI Act, I request a copy of the original image that the *white*
shoe(s) were taken from. I am not seeking the original image of the Prime
Minister, I am seeking the image from which the white shoes were taken.
Yours faithfully,
A Citizen
