Have a look at my annotation here (https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/pqs_12_months_requirement#comment-1644 ). It is also applicable to this reque...
This is strange. An internal review is not something to "suggest". The Act does not authorise an internal review unless it is requested by an applicant...
Often I read statements from FOI officers that say something that is in the correct direction but is not correct in all the details. The officer who ha...

Sometimes I cannot understand the behaviour of some Australian government departments. I ask myself, did the officer behave in this way because she or...
LOL! I have made a mess in my annotation. The second last paragraph should be the last paragraph. I apologise but I cannot fix or edit it.
It is unfortunate that Right to Know, who makes it so easy to do many things, also makes it easy to go down the wrong street and make a mistake.

Also it is useful to complain to the Australian Information Commissioner.
I expect that there will be no information. It is not usual for a government department in any country to ask "what is the effect of not doing R?" Usua...
