| 25 May 2026 | 202600152 | Dear Australian National University,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I request a copy of the correspondence between staff in the Office of the Interim Vice-Chancellor and the Freedom of Information team noting that the IVC does not use signal, and therefore "no documents" exist for my FOI request 202500261.
I note this staff members involved in this thread have now been “reassigned” and no longer work after FOI requests; and therefore a search may need to be undertaken by the cyber team to recover items requested for this FOI. |
