Crimes Act.

Derek Haddon (Account suspended) made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was successful.

From: Derek Haddon (Account suspended)

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

I have evidence of a government department using OCR software to modify government documents.

I have two questions:

1. Is it acceptable that a government department can use OCR software to modify documents?.

2. How does the government resolve such issues of fraud when it is so evident such offenses have been committed and criminal acts have been committed by a government department?.

Yours faithfully,

Derek Haddon
