This FOI disclosure releases consultation correspondence regarding the Liquid Fuel Security Review final report (167 pages, October 2020). The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources prepared the report for potential Cabinet consideration, with the Minister proposing in January 2020 that it either be released immediately or taken through Cabinet processes. PM&C advised full exemption under section 34(3) of the FOI Act on grounds that releasing the document would reveal Cabinet deliberations or decisions, noting the report contains government recommendations. The document was ultimately not officially released through Cabinet at that time. PM&C guidance emphasized that any previously publicly disclosed information should not be covered by the Cabinet exemption.
