Dear Sir/Madam I write seeking access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1991. Specifically, I am seeking the following documents and communications created between 21 January 2019 and 21 February 2019: * correspondence relating to media inquiries from Casey Briggs of ABC News, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and reports; I advise that I am not interested in communications that Casey Briggs was a recipient or author of. I also advise I am not interested in duplicate copies of documents or documents that have already been publicly released. I would also like advice if the information I have sought is due to be released under FOi to individuals or organisations prior to finalisation of my FOi application. I also note the onus rests with the agency to prove why any information should not be released under the Act and I request the agency provide evidence in support of any assumptions or assertions used to justify non-disclosure. I also advise the agency I am seeking a total reduction in fees and charges associated with this request as release of the information will: contribute to community understanding on an important issue and inform debate and improve government accountability and transparency. Further, the ABC is a non-profit, publicly funded broadcaster and warrants a remission of fees and charges on that basis. I also request the agency provide a five-day waiting period before provision of the information I have sought onto any disclosure Jog as this will assist the ABC in the preparation of any material for broadcast or publication including assessing the information and seeking additional comment including from government. I refer to the OAJC guidelines on this issue and request that if the agency ignores these guidelines that detailed reasons why be provided. If I can assist with the processing of my request, including negotiation of scope, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email.
