Dear Ministerial Services [SSC],

Thank you for your prompt and courteous response but it does not appear to fulfil the requirements of the OIA.

Please either confirm the highly unlikely scenario that your department does not hold any information at all on these so-called 'discretionary' exercises or please release the requested information promptly.

Please carefully consider your personal obligations under the State Sector Code of Conduct in handling this ongoing request of mine.

Yours sincerely,

Mx Jem Traylen
