Jon—appreciate your views on this. In a nutshell we have had several request to release a copy of the Charters Towers Flying-Fox DMP(with more requests today). We have sought advice from Governance and Strategy who have advised that while the DMP can bereleased, we should as protocol seek the council’s support to do so. The added complication is that the DMP cross-references to other council documents, so the DMPread by itself is not particularly useful and to be properly understood would need to be read inconjunction with supporting council documentation. In seeking approval to release the DMP, weshould additionally ascertain the councils’ willingness to also release their accompanyingdocuments. The Minister has given in-principle support to the release of the DMP and the department has noobjections to this. I support, as proposed by Geoff, approaching Charters Towers Regional Council in the first instanceto seek the agreement to the release of both documents, noting that they may not support releaseof either or their document. Should we not receive their support, I believe we should still releasethe DMP and refer any requests for the council’s supporting documentation to the council itself orthrough RTI. Just wanting to check if you have any objections to this approach.

Tamara, Pls see advice from Ken Davis on release of the CT permit below. In essence it supportsestablished practice to only do so following checking with Council that it had no concerns. Ken has pointed out that should Council not have concerns there would still be somestandard redacting of information (eg the name and signature of the delegate).

In this particular case the permit refers to other documents submitted by Council. Foranyone to fully appreciate what is permitted under the permit they would need to havethese as well. IN my view the Council should also need to be asked their view on releasingthese. It is certainly possible that they may have a different position on these to the permit. Pls note the Ministers position as conveyed by Troy is: Geoff, further to our conversation, theMinister is of a view that we should disclose as much as possible - providing we do not breach anyprivacy considerations. As the Minister has reiterated, the code and conditions for council arerobust for a reason, and will be strictly adhered to. On this basis and given the advice from Ken I propose that we seek the view of Council onrelease of the documents I would appreciate if you could check with the DG to ensure he supports this before we doso. Note that RSPCA has today been is seeking a copy of the permit Geoff

Geoff,I have received input from my Privacy Officer and RTI Services and advise as follows:- Does privacy apply to flying-fox roost management permits issued to regional Councils? EHP has obligations under the Information Privacy Act 2009 (the IP Act) regarding the collection,use, management and disclosure of personal information. Personal information has a broaddefinition under the IP Act and is essentially any information about an identifiable individual (i.e.whose identity is apparent or readily ascertained). Information about other entities (e.g.companies, organisations, local Councils) is not personal information and the IP Act does not apply. In this case, as the flying-fox roost management permit has been issued to a Regional Council, the IPAct does not apply and there are no applicable limitations under privacy regarding EHP’s disclosureof the information at issue (i.e. the Notice of Decision and Permit). We have not identified any provisions under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the NatureConservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006 which specifically either restricts or requirescopies of such permits to be made accessible to members of the public. However, you couldconsider whether or not the permit could be disclosed administratively, rather than through anapplication under Right to Information. Are there any other restrictions on disclosing copies of flying-fox roost management permitsissued to regional Councils on request?


RTI D

L REL

EASE

- EHP

Section 19 of the Right to Information Act 2009 (the RTI Act) provides that information may beaccessed other than by application under that Act, e.g. under an administrative arrangement madeby the agency. Therefore, a copy of the permit could be disclosed administratively, provided it iseligible under EHP’s Administrative Access Policy and Procedure (click on the hyperlinks to accessthese documents). In the majority of cases, permits issued by the department should be able to be releasedadministratively (on request), unless it is not in the public interest to do so. For example, there isconcern about the interest of third parties or legal impediment to the release (e.g. breach ofconfidence, privacy, copyright). While the third party with respect to the documents in this case is the Council, and is itself subjectto the RTI Act, we recommend you seek their views to confirm they have no concerns with therelease of these documents. We also recommend you contact the delegate whose signatureappears on the documents, as it is RTI Services’ common practice to remove signatures (exceptthose of Ministers or Directors-General) prior to release under an RTI application. Ultimately however, decisions whether or not to release information under the EHP AdministrativeAccess Policy are at the discretion of the Executive Director, Director and/or Manager. Given thesensitivities surrounding this matter, it would also be appropriate to brief upwards regarding anyreleases of the permit.

Dear Keiran,

The community has a right to know whether or not the action by any council is within thescope of the permit issued by the EHP and they have the right to demand the immediate ceaseof activity if it exceeds the boundaries of the permit. How is it possible to know whether thecouncil exceeds its direction without the disclosure of the Damage Mitigation Permit by theEHP? We have a right to know what your department approves without having to apply andwait for months (after the fact) for a "Right of Information" assuming you actually approvethe request for the RI. When did we inherit a government that is not accountable to its people?

The request was for the disclosure of a damage mitigation permit for an action in a publicplace by a local Council approved by a State Government Department (EHP). It cannot qualifyunder privacy in any circumstance as this is not a private action. The State's refusal todisclose the Damage Mitigation Permit is deliberate so as to avoid public scrutiny. The State'srefuses to release a document that would disclose whether Andrew Powell, the QueenslandMinister For EHP, has or has not approved an action that is animal cruelty or an action that isguaranteed to lead to it.

It is my conclusion that the State EHP is hiding behind privacy in order to prevent scrutiny ofwhat it knows to be immoral and inhumane animal cruelty that is a direct result of its poorlyauthored 2013 legislation for the dispersal of native Flying Foxes. Your refusal to disclosedemonstrates that the State Government is not intent on the prevention of animal crueltyduring the dispersal of Flying Foxes and the that it most likely advocates it.

Since this State Government has demonstrated that it can legislate without consideration forhuman rights, there seems little to no hope that it can offer any consideration for animals. ThisGovernment demonstrates deception when claiming it acts in the interest of Health and Safety.If it was the motivation of the State to prevent the risk of infection to a human being from thefar less than 1% of the flying fox population that may have lyssavirus, you would educatepeople to act to seek medical advice in the incredibly rare event they be scratched or bitten bya flying fox. The prevention being a series of injections... hardly life threatening when put inits truthful context. There is no risk and the hysteria created by your government will notprevent any unnecessary infection since relocation is not prevention - education is. The deathof any individual due to your inaction after relocation in regards to education will see theMinister and Premier held liable. The lies in regards to Hendra also do not stand scrutiny asyou cannot contract Hendra from Flying Foxes. If the state were interested in public safety,you would act to require all horses (introduced by man and not native - responsible for morethan 130 times more Australian human fatalities than Flying Foxes) be vaccinated. As for yourdesperate claims relating to mental health due to flying foxes, you should focus on banningmotor vehicles, bars, restaurants and dogs which far exceed noise levels and any otherpossible health risk of a bat. Since there are so many lies generated by this government incontradiction to its own Health website, there seems little that can be believed of anythingbeing stated from this department, which is even more reason that disclosure should beforthcoming.

I request the immediate full response to my correspondence and request.

Regards,

Beck Please approve the following response. Also, In the response do you want me to email a copy [email protected]? Dear

It is Charters Towers Regional Council’s responsibility to ensure that it carries out activities in a lawful manner. The “flying-foxroost management permit” was issued under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and its subordinate legislation and allowedthe council to utilise methods outlined in the Charter Towers Regional Council, Flying Fox Management Plan. The ‘flying-fox roost management permit’ does not authorize the “take” of flying-foxes. In addition it contains conditions thatrelate to the welfare of the animals. The framework is designed so that dispersals occur in a humane way. The flying-fox roost management permit is not approval under the Queensland Weapons License Act 1990 or any otherlegislation. The issue you have raised regarding discharging a category A firearm (paintball gun) within a residential area falls within theportfolio responsibilities of the Honourable Jack Dempsey MP, Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services. As such, acopy of your correspondence has been passed on to him with a request that a reply be forwarded to you at the earliestopportunity.

Given that paintball guns are classified as CatA firearms in QLD and aresubject to the same standard's as other firearms I would think not! The following is a link to youtube of theBrisbane TEN News from 10 Dec 2013 which clearly shows in the graphic behind the presenter a councilofficer using a paintball gun to shoot at flying foxes. Even if he wasn't shooting at the animals, the intentwas there and in a public place discharging a firearm. Please advise ASAP if CatA firearms were permitted tobe used in the DMP for the dispersal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNecr3v05Gk Thank you.
