The ATO issued a notice of intention to refuse a FOI request seeking briefs about the Shadow Economy Procurement Connected Policy and documents provided to Treasury for the 2022 Performance Review of that policy. The ATO invoked the "practical refusal reason" provision under section 24AA of the FOI Act, determining that processing the request would substantially and unreasonably divert agency resources due to its large size and complexity. The notice does not detail specific document volumes or resource estimates but invites the applicant to narrow their request within 14 days to avoid outright refusal. No substantive information about the Shadow Economy Procurement Connected Policy itself is disclosed.
