The Attorney-General's Department's submission from October 2019 sought the Attorney-General's approval to sign a Government Legal Statement required for Australia's bid to host the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. FIFA's hosting requirements mandated three key governmental documents: a Government Declaration, seven Government Guarantees (covering visas, work permits, tax exemptions, security, commercial rights protection, telecommunications, and indemnification), and a Government Legal Statement confirming Australia's legal framework and the validity of governmental commitments. The statement required the Minister of Justice to summarize Australia's legal framework, confirm that governmental support documents would remain valid and enforceable, and list any special legislation to be enacted. The deadline was 8 November 2019, with Department of Health approval, as missing it could prejudice Australia's hosting bid. Substantial redactions under section 22(1) (legal professional privilege) obscure much of the substantive legal advice and analysis provided to support the submission.
