Hi Alex,
That was my thinking exactly. I'll be looking at pursuing this further. From what I can tell they are quite stubborn with these 'exemption' requests, hence my OIA.

Curiously they called me Cory (not my name), however, they have now provided the information I requested and I'm happy with their response.

One for the Ombudsman. You've specifically requested guidelines, and they've admitted they exist, then refused on the basis of non-existence. The real reason for refusal appears to be that the guidelines would be misleading about current work practices, but that is not a reason for refusal under the Act, and it is open to them to outline their current work practices as well.
