Reference number
FOIREQ21/00007. Internal review of FOIREQ20/00232
Date of access
15 February 2021
FOI request

I am writing to request an internal review of Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's handling of my FOI request 'Commissioner Briefs'.
The breadth of exemptions, given the scope of the documents they apply to (especially redactions of what are statutory reporting statistics), is excessive and needs review.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/commissioner_briefs
