The Attorney-General's Department released internal email correspondence from December 2023 involving the Office of Constitutional Law (OCL), discussing content clearance for correspondence regarding royal style and titles following Queen Elizabeth II's death. The emails document coordination between the Department's General Counsel (Constitutional), OCL senior legal officers, and the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) regarding a Freedom of Information response. OCL staff proposed editorial changes to draft correspondence, primarily substituting standard terminology rather than making substantive alterations, and indicated they did not hold strong views on suggested revisions before responding to PM&C. The exchange references constitutional law advice, though specific legal positions remain largely redacted under section 47F(1) (likely legal professional privilege). The documents relate to Commonwealth correspondence addressing an FOI request for which the releasing agency indicated no documents existed.
