An Order for the Production of Documents (OPD) was issued requesting the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water table incoming government briefs prepared for the Minister for Environment and Water. Internal departmental emails from late July 2025 document the decision-making process for responding to this OPD, with the Departmental Liaison Officer providing draft wording for the ministerial response letter. The brief was subsequently released publicly with FOI exemptions applied in accordance with the *Freedom of Information Act 1982*. The disclosed emails show coordination between the Minister's Office, departmental staff, and portfolio strategy teams regarding the timing and content of the response, though the substantive environmental matters addressed in the original brief are not detailed in these procedural documents.
