Andrew Li made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
The request was refused by Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
From: Andrew Li
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
In light of the recent decision to provide military equipment to support the Azov battalion, I would like to request information from the DPMC in regards:
1) Any emails or other records held around how military equipment provided to the Ukranian military and 'national guard' will be prevented from being provided to extremist organizations, whether the Azov battalion and similar neo-nazi militias operating under the aegis of the Ukranian regime's 'national guard', or Al-Nusra Front/al-Qaeda in Syria and other takfiri fighters who have volunteered to fight for the Zelensky regime in Ukraine.
2) Any plans to donate military equipment to victims of illegal American invasion and occupation, in Syria, Iraq, and countless other nations.
3) Any plans to donate military equipment to victims of illegal Saudi and Yemeni invasion and occupation in Yemen.
4) Any plans to donate military equipment to victims of illegal zionist 'Israeli' invasion and occupation in Palestine, Syria, and countless other nations, including 1948 Palestine.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Li
