Walker Group Holdings Pty Ltd and Australian Conservation Foundation Incorporated (Freedom of information)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a dispute between Walker Group Holdings Pty Ltd and the Australian Conservation Foundation Incorporated concerning a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. The core of the matter involved whether certain documents were exempt from disclosure under the *Freedom of Information Act 1982* (Cth).

The Tribunal was tasked with determining whether the documents in question were exempt or conditionally exempt from disclosure, specifically by reference to sections 47 and 47G of the *Freedom of Information Act 1982* (Cth).

Deputy President B W Rayment Oam Kc affirmed the reviewable decisions made in relation to the disclosure of these documents, finding that they met the criteria for exemption under the relevant provisions of the Act. The reasoning applied by the Tribunal would have involved an analysis of the specific content of the documents and how it related to the criteria for exemption as set out in sections 47 and 47G.
