Final versions of the documents held or used in the drafting of the bill for the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2024. Specifically, I request access to records regarding the consideration of possible negative impacts of lowering the number of families that may be created from one donor.

This includes consideration of:

• the need to 'grandfather' in the new lowered limits where women are already undergoing IVF treatment and a donor may already be allocated to more than 5 families, to prevent existing embryos or donor gametes being destroyed or not being able to be used in the ACT, including consideration of what would be an appropriate transition period
• compensation to women unable to use gametes already purchased and allocated to them as a result of the lowered limit
• potential increases to waiting periods to access donor gametes as a result of the lowered family limit
• attempts to consult with affected women undergoing IVF on the proposal to lower the family limit and any attempts to advise affected women of the changed legislation.

Documents outlining any Standard Operating Procedures or Assisted Reproductive Technology legislations/reviews from other Australian states are not required to be provided.

(a) identify the oncological appointments for new patients that took place at the Canberra Region Cancer Centre (CRCC) in a calendar month in 2024 as determined by CHS;

(b) select any 5 of the appointments, whether randomly or otherwise;

(c) release to me the following information about the appointments:

(i) the date the referral was made to CRCC that led to the appointment;

(ii) the date of the appointment.

To avoid releasing any personal information or personal health information, CHS may use an appropriate unique identifier for those appointments e.g. patient A attended their first appointment at CRCC on 1 September 2024 for a referral that was received by CRCC on 1 August 2024.

As CHS has been releasing information about waiting times for various services provided by CHS, I believe the rescoped information that I am requesting should be able to be readily generated by CHS. Also, I am requesting information about 5 appointments, which is a small number so there should not be much resourcing issue. Releasing the information would also be in the public interest because the public should know about the waiting times in relation to the CRCC—this will assist prospective patients to decide where to seek treatment based on the waiting times.

If CHS does not hold any of the information requested above, then I request newest statistics and analyses already held by CHS that indicate the waiting times at CRCC.

This request relates to the “Public Health (Emergency) Declaration 2020”, its subsequent extensions and the directions made pursuant to it, by the Minister for Health and the Chief Health Officer since 16 March 2020.

A number of claims are made in, or can be reasonably inferred from, the declaration, directions and supporting material available online, which I am seeking material evidence for under this Freedom of Information request. I have summarised these claims in the points that follow (which are based on information published on the ACT government’s website):

1) That there is a novel coronavirus designated SARS-CoV-2 that has been reliably identified according to the scientific method.

2) That SARS-CoV-2 is the sole cause of a new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is a distinct disease that is reliably differentiated from other diseases.

3) That COVID-19 presents a public health risk to the ACT community in general that exceeds the public health risk from other diseases in the community to date.

4) That people who are asymptomatic but diagnosed with COVID-19 spread the disease to others in a substantial enough way that merits concern.

5) That the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and all of its derivatives are a reliable diagnostic test for whether a person has the SARS-CoV-2 virus and are infectious.

6) That the SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted from person to person in a manner that face masks prevent, and the benefits of face mask use outweigh any harms to the wearer in the short, medium and long term, and other harms to the public and the environment.

7) That testing, quarantining, limiting gatherings, social distancing, contact tracing, lock downs, border closures, travel restrictions, frequent hand sanitisation and vaccination using novel technologies are justified in the circumstances and that there are no other viable alternatives to better respond to the perceived risks posed.

8) That people who have had COVID-19 should still get a vaccine for COVID-19 as it will protect the person from getting COVID-19 again or passing it onto someone else.

9) That the COVID-19 vaccines currently available are safe and do not contain potential toxic ingredients or cause potential toxicity within the body.

It is in the public interest that material evidence is supplied to substantiate these claims as the broader community has patiently endured infringements to their rights for approximately 18 months without being able to truly ascertain whether there is justifiable cause. There have been additional impacts on local businesses and the local economy, which will have long standing consequences for the community, and must be well evidenced particularly if they are to continue.

The specific Freedom of Information request I am making is split into parts as follows in descending order of priority, which can be responded to separately according to the effort estimated and capacity of the ACT Health Directorate:

a) I request all decision support materials (e.g. briefing materials) in the possession, custody or control of the ACT Health Directorate, that were supplied to the Minister for Health to support their declaration and/or extension of a public health emergency and/or the chief health officer to support their consideration prior to issuance of a public health direction, describing the real world (i.e. not simulated, modelled or theorised) isolation and purification of the novel coronavirus designated SARS-CoV-2 from a diseased patient anywhere in the world, which evidences that the patient was infected by this isolated and purified novel coronavirus and that the disease they were suffering from was solely caused by this isolated and purified novel coronavirus.

a. the Australian Capital Territory has experienced persistent community transmission since the outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in the Australian Capital Territory on 12 August 2021;

b. the Delta variant of COVID-19 (labelled as a variant of concern) has proven highly transmissible both nationally and internationally, demonstrating that elimination of the virus is not feasible and community transmission will continue as the Australian Capital Territory seeks to mitigate the impact of this public health risk;

c. there is an increased risk of transmission of COVID-19 among children (under 12 years of age) at ACT Schools and Early Childhood Education and Care facilities in circumstances where the COVID-19 vaccine is not currently available for children.

d. high vaccination rates reduce the likelihood of COVID-19 outbreaks, providing protection against severe illness or death and a reduction in the risk of onward transmission of COVID-19.

I refer to the recent TV interview on Sunrise where Prof Collignon makes some pretty big claims relating to COVID, he said "those that are unvaccinated are more of a risk to others..." and "at least 70% more chance that they will get it (COVID) than a vaccinated person", and that "if they get it, they tend to be sicker for longer"

So my request under the FOI act is as follows;

1. The data you have relied on to make these claims mentioned above.
2. Can you please share with me the scientific evidence you (ACT health and/or the Professor) have showing the existence and isolation of
   1. SARS-CoV-2 virus; and
   2. Delta variant; or
   3. Any other variant. And
   4.  
3. The reduced efficacy in reference to any materials you have that show the efficacy of the vaccine/s and their overall performance.
4. The evidence of how the vaccine targets all the variants at once, or if not, which variants and which vaccines people in Australia are getting to be protected from said variant.

I am writing to you on advice from the Australian Department of Health (the Department) to seek clarification on information requested in a Freedom of Information (FOI) request that was sent to the Department.

I am therefore writing to you to on initial advice by the Department of Health to confirm whether you do hold the information requested in the original request to the Department, as shown in attachment "FOI 1937" and pasted again below:

“All records in the possession, custody or control of The Department of Health describing the isolation of a SARS-COV-2 virus, directly from a sample taken from a diseased patient, where the patient sample was not first combined with any other source of genetic material (i.e. monkey kidney cells aka vero cells; lung cells from a lung cancer patient). Please note that I am using "isolation" in the every-day sense of the word: the act of separating a thing(s) from everything else. I am not requesting records where "isolation of SARS-COV-2" refers instead to:

• the culturing of something,
• or the performance of an amplification test (i.e. a PCR test),
• or the sequencing of something.

also note that my request is not limited to records that were authored by The Department of Health or that pertain to work done by The Department of Health. My request includes any sort of record, for example (but not limited to) any published peer reviewed study that The Department of Health has downloaded or printed.”

I am looking for the following information under FOI in relation to Covid-19 testing within the ACT:

• The cost to date of the ACT's covid testing program. Please include the date range
• The cost to ACT taxpayers of a PCR test. This is to get an idea of the cost per person tested and would include the cost of the test itself, staff costs associated with taking the swab, lab staff and equipment. I would be happy with total cost of the testing program divided by the number of tests conducted
• What is the cycle threshold cut-off used for the Covid-19 RT PCR test within the ACT (ie what determines a positive vs negative test result).

‘Following Major Projects Canberra taking responsibility for the SPIRE projects on 1 July 2019, it has undertaken a number of consultations and meetings with the Garran Primary School (26 August 2019 and 6 November 2019), the Garran community (26 September 2019) and the Garran Residents’ Association (30 October 2019) to inform these groups of the SPIRE planning, preliminary sketch design and procurement. The ACT Government has also established a Local Community Reference Group to provide a formal mechanism for the community to provide comments and feedback in the planning and development of the project. During these consultations and meetings the community has conveyed a number of concerns to Major Projects Canberra, the ACT Government and the ACT Health Directorate. It is in the public interest for the community to know how their concerns have, or have not, resulted in any changes to the planning and design works undertaken to date. I would like a copy of all documents and instructions between Major Projects Canberra, the ACT Government and the ACT Health Directorate, and Silver Thomas Hanley since 1 July 2019 concerning the matters brought to the attention at these consultation meetings.’

I would like a copy of the documents I refer to below sent to the above address OR, if appropriate, to inspect them.

During 2009-2010 a multi-storey car park was erected at the Canberra Hospital. At that time a car park at the Garran Neighbourhood Oval [Garran, Block 9, Section 33 designated PRZ1: Urban Open Space] was enlarged to accommodate vehicles that would otherwise be parked on the Hospital campus. As part of the enlargement, the work involved the removal of two cricket pitches and associated nets. Subsequently, decisions were made:

1. to reserve and restrict the enlarged car park for the exclusive use of Hospital staff during the construction of the multi-story car park, and
2. following the completion of the multi-storey park at the Hospital, to continue to restrict the use of the enlarged car park at the Garran Oval for the exclusive use of Hospital staff.

I would like to access all documents (including relevant correspondence between Directorates) relating to these decisions.
