REASONS FOR DECISION
Introduction 1 On 22 February 2010 the NSW Police Force (the Respondent) received an application from Mr Altaranesi under the Freedom of Information Act 1989 for Police reports relating to a specific Police event number, and for any other events or reports involving him, recorded by Newtown Police, in the period 1 August 2004 until 1 April 2008. Section 24 of the Freedom of Information Act 1989 required that his application be determined within 21 days, by 16 March 2010, in default of which the Respondent was "taken to have determined the application by refusing access to the document to which it relates."
