Chris Evans WA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Government in the Senate

FOI applications are made under the legislation, the Public Service directions, that apply to FOI requests. The decision maker makes a decision in relation to that request and the advice is provided to the applicant. There are also appeal mechanisms open to applicants which the senator can pursue. To suggest that I should interfere in the FOI process, the legal processes, is of course improper and, if I did, I would be accused of improper interference.
