From the get-go ACMA responded to my FOI request with a some what intimidating letter "FOI - Acknowledgement - Campiciano - 10 March 2021"
setting out possible costs that I could incur with the request.
I responded thanking for the advice and left it at that.
What followed was a denial to proceed with the request citing inconvenience to the ACMA with other spurious noise as to the manner I had submitted the request. "FOI - Acknowledgement - Campiciano - 10 March 2021"
Below is my responce to Mr. Brody, I am sure Mr. Brody is the architect behind the intended destruction of our service.
My response to the ACMA denial of my FOI request
Dear Mr. Brody
Thank you for your email.
Firstly your communication to me regarding my FOI request on the March 10, 2021 3:24 PM I found intimidating with your presentation of possible costs
regarding my requested FOI I responded to you on the March 11, 2021 that the time frame for the consultation is very narrow, that I still required the information in consideration to the consultation.
Now I find that you have made a decision to disallow my request purely based on inconveniences to ACMA
I further note that you are critical that my request does not define a period of interest, How can I do this since ACMA has engaged for a considerable time to attempt to destroy the Amateur Radio Service, that ACMA has failed to understand the Amateur Radio Service having caused in recent time changes that have been detrimental to the structure and functionality of the service.
Now ACMA continues with the process to provide administrative advantages to the ACMA, that is very cleverly setting up scenarios such that are forcing a class licence onto the Amateur Radio Service as ACMA has already done with the section relative to overseas visiting amateurs of the proposed changes to the Class licence instrument.
Why did you not submit the proposed amendments to that part of the act that defines a class licence for the consultation due on the April 2nd 2021? Is ACMA trying to be clever and keep intent hidden, I hope not as this is totally dishonest by those involved in the strategy at play.
My request was in line to discover what and how caused ACMA to have such a low opinion of what the Amateur Radio Service is about, a Service that has contributed and still does to the community at large, truly I believe that ACMA is totally ignorant of the facts aligned with the Amateur Radio Service. Does not listen to those that express concerns only to respond with what I think are condescending remarks, only using two dysfunctional organizations to show that ACMA is following due process.
As far as the three options you propose and offered to me, I can only choose the last one, “Indicate that you do not wish to revise your request” I do so in ignorance of what has led ACMA in been so anti Amateur Radio Service that wishes to turn it into a glorified CB service further eroding its structure that has provided benefits to Australian Community for just under 100 years. Historically (I am sure you will skip past this part) As a service we have provided in time of War a pool of ready trained operators, in time of civil
emergency a pool of ready obtainable resources providing communication when all else failed, more importantly at no cost to any concerned. What value does ACMA place on this ? I know a fat ZERO
So you have denied my request and that you provided the legal position for doing so, but what you did not provide is the moral position for doing so aside in furthering the goal of ACMA to completely disrupt the honoured service of Amateur Radio.
Concluding ....
Thank you for your time in this matter.
