This FOI release from the Attorney-General's Department comprises emails, a ministerial submission (MS24-001535) and attachments concerning the non-disclosure of material in the Benbrika litigation, marked Legal Privilege. The December 2024 submission answers questions the Attorney-General asked after receiving Alan Robertson SC's Report of the Preliminary Independent Inquiry into the non-disclosures, which Justice Hollingworth criticised in Benbrika v Attorney-General of the Commonwealth [2024] VSC 265. Excerpts include a Home Affairs letter on steps to prevent recurrence, citing the Community Safety Order scheme in Division 395 of the Criminal Code and the HRTO scheme in Division 105A, the INSLM's review of Division 105A, and the Corner Report on terrorism risk instruments. Guidance on disclosable facts and reasonable inquiries is also included. Substantial privilege claims and redactions apply to names and contact details, and the release is partial, with many attachments not visible.
