Amended FOI Application of 23 January 2012

Dear Ms Mckivat,

Your Ref: Foi/2012/001

I refer to your letter of 16 January 2012 regarding the charges quoted on my FOI inquiry. Even though all previous FOI charges in relation to the same matter have been waved on public interest or relevant grounds, this time I take a practical approach about the charges. I withdraw this FOI inquiry, rather than request a review on the decision on charge.

I make a new request under the FOI Act to access the four documents below:

1. Email of 17/07/2009 from Mr MacDowell, SA, LPB to Mr Jose, PMO, confirming deletion of one paragraph of a response letter to Mr He, with additional email traffic attached.

2. Email of 15/07/2009 from Mr Jose, SA, PMO to Mr MacDowell, SA, LPB agreeing to transfer Mr He’s request to PM&C, with additional email traffic attached.

3. Email of 15/07/2009 from Mr MacDowell, SA, LPB to Mr Jose, SA, PMO seeking transfer of the request to PM&C, with additional email traffic attached.

4. Email of 10/01/2008 from Mr Gavin Ryan, Office of Senator Gavin Marshall, to Ms Sarah Adams regarding Mr He.

I hope the first 5 hour free of charge can cover the costs of the new FOI inquiry.

Enclosure:
