The Attorney-General's Department's correspondence with the Code Reviewer covers the independent annual compliance review of copyright collecting societies (APRA, AMCOS, PPCA, Copyright Agency, Screenrights, AWGACS, and ASDACS) under the Code of Conduct for Copyright Collecting Societies. The Code Reviewer, former Federal Court judge Kevin Lindgren AM KC, conducted reviews for the 2023 period (1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023), with submissions closing 31 July 2023. Extensive redactions under section 22(1) (personal privacy) obscure sender and recipient identities throughout the correspondence. The documents establish the administrative process for the independent compliance regime overseen by the Attorney-General's Department, though substantive details of departmental engagement and any compliance findings are largely withheld.
