FOI request

1. Kindly refer to the audit trail of my correspondence to/from the office of the GG below.

2. In its email of 16 March the official secretary asked me to discuss this matter with you which I find puzzling as my understanding is that the Ombudsman falls within the jurisdiction of attorney general Porter who should be the person to deal with the matter under the ministerial responsibility tenet.

.....

I also request you to give me a copy of your advice and all other documents that you provided to the secretary as reflected in his email of 16 March. You may treat this part of my email as a formal FOI request.
