The Department of Industry, Science and Resources released heavily redacted internal correspondence relating to the appointment of members to lead a strategic review of Australia's research and development performance. Documents from October and November 2024 show departmental staff including Dom English and Helen Wilson coordinating appointment arrangements and handling processes, with one exchange involving Robyn Denholm's curriculum vitae. Most substantive content has been withheld—pages 6-26 were removed entirely, and significant portions redacted—under exemptions for cabinet-in-confidence material (s22), legal professional privilege (s47C), and information about Commonwealth employees (s34(1)(c)). The disclosure provides minimal insight into the review's scope, membership selection criteria, or deliberations.
