This FOI release comprises emails and ministerial correspondence held by the Minister for Communications and her office, dated July 2025 to July 2026. The material concerns constituent and parliamentary representations about Meta suspending or restricting Facebook and Instagram accounts, mainly business accounts. Senator Larissa Waters' office raised a matter involving around 20 suspended business accounts, with the constituent unable to contact Meta or regain access. Other representations came from Labor and Coalition MPs' offices, including Tracey Roberts, Jason Clare, Senator Jacqui Lambie's office and Trish Cook MP, with requests for escalation or a contact within Meta. Documents show the Minister's office referring matters to the Department, and the eSafety Commissioner was previously approached by one constituent. The release contains no project delivery, funding, cost or schedule information.
