The Attorney-General's Department released internal communications and organisational structure documents under FOI26/222. The materials include an email chain from February 2026 in which AGD FOI Requests staff asked Web Publishing to delay the publication of five FOI disclosure documents (FOI25/404, FOI25/405, FOI25/407, and FOI25/409) from 6 February to 9 February 2026, explicitly stating "the line area are seeking to delay due to estimates"—referring to Senate Estimates hearings. The request was approved and publishing dates were amended accordingly. The disclosure also includes the Department's organisational structure as at 31 March 2026, identifying Secretary Katherine Jones PSM. Significant redactions under section 47F(1) and 47E(d) obscure staff names and contact details throughout the email chain.
