Subject: Review of the Ombudsman’s decision

From: Manuel Graeber manuel.graeber@professoriate.org

Dear Information Commissioner,

I am writing to request formally that you review the Ombudsman’s decision to
classify the name of the decision maker (“senior management”, Attachment 1)
who stopped the Ombudsman’s investigation (Attachment 2) into reprisals for
making a recognised PID (Attachment 3) as excluded information under the GIPA
Act.

This request arises from serious concerns regarding potential collusion that
violates whistleblowing legislation.

Given the implications of such actions on public trust and accountability, I
believe there is a compelling public interest in disclosing this information.
The GIPA Act aims to promote transparency in government operations, and I
respectfully urge you to consider the significance of this matter.

I appreciate your attention to this urgent issue and look forward to your
response.

Sincerely,

Professor Manuel B. Graeber
