From: Sebastian
Dear DPMC,
I am very disappointed in your decision to withhold information on a topic of such obvious public interest.
I am very sceptical of your claims that the release of this information would somehow hinder IPCA’s investigation and thereby damage the public interest, especially given that DPMC is of course not the subject of their investigation. I intend to request a review of this decision by the Ombudsman.
In the meantime, I would like to make a further request for the following information:
1. If DPMC consulted IPCA before making the decision to withhold this information
2. If DPMC has been told by IPCA that there is any obligation of confidence between DPMC and IPCA relating to their investigation
3. If IPCA has advised DPMC that they may require DPMC to provide documents to assist their investigation
4. How decision makers at DPMC believe IPCA’s investigation would be affected by the release of this information, and how this would damage the public interest
5. How decision makers at DPMC took the public interest considerations in section 9(1) of the Act into account in deciding to withhold this information
6. Copies of all internal correspondence generated in processing my request of 3 March
7. Copies of all external correspondence generated by DPMC relating to my request of 3 March
Yours sincerely,
Sebastian
