The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has received multiple requests for access to all or parts of the Incoming Government Brief under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
Some of these requests were received prior to the amendment of the FOI Act from 1 November 2010 and others after that date. Given the interest in the brief, the Department has decided to publish on its website the brief with redactions based on exemptions that apply to FOI requests made before 1 November 2010 and after 1 November 2010.
