The Department provided some information and withheld other information in reliance on the exceptions at regulation 12(4)(e), regulation 12(5)(b) and regulation 12(5)(e). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department was entitled to withhold information on the basis of the exceptions at regulation 12(4)(e) and regulation 12(5)(b). The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose one paragraph on the basis that it falls within the scope of the request, and no exception has been claimed.
