This email chain documents ACNC communication with an Australian Financial Review journalist regarding an article published 4 January 2026 on terrorism financing risks in the charity sector. The ACNC requested corrections to the article, which was based on material acquired through FOI. Key corrections sought related to the characterization of Michael O'Neill's appointment (clarifying his role as providing strategic regulatory advice focused on embedding the Regulatory, Policy, Practice & Performance Framework from August 2024) and funding comments. The ACNC noted the article's angle had shifted between initial journalist enquiries on 12 December and publication, following the Bondi Beach attack. Treasury and ACNC staff coordinated the response through the Assistant Minister's office.
