Appendix G: FOI Statement Freedom of Information Statement under section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cwlth) requires agencies to publish annually statements containing particulars and information about their organisation, functions, decision making powers, consultative arrangements, categories of documents maintained and facilities and procedures to enable members of the public to obtain access to documents under the FOI Act. These statements are required by the FOI Act to be included in the annual report of each agency. The following statement is correct to 30 June 2004. Establishment The ACC was established by the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002, and commenced operations on 1 January 2003. The ACC was created by the amalgamation of the former agencies, the National Crime Authority, the Australian Bureau of Criminal Intelligence and the Office of Strategic Crime Assessments. Organisation The ACC is a Commonwealth statutory body established under Section 7(1) of the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002 (ACC Act), and a prescribed agency for the purposes of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act). Section 7(2) of the ACC Act states that the ACC consists of (a) the CEO; (b) the examiners; and (c) the members of the staff of the ACC. The ACC’s functions are listed under section 7(A) of the Act. They are: (a) to collect, correlate, analyse and disseminate criminal information and intelligence and to maintain a national database of that information and intelligence; (b) to undertake, when authorised by the ACC Board, intelligence operations; (c) to investigate, when authorised by the ACC Board, matters relating to federally relevant criminal activity; (d) to provide reports to the ACC Board on the outcomes of those operations and investigations; (e) to provide strategic criminal intelligence assessments, and any other criminal information and intelligence, to the ACC Board; (f) to provide advice to the ACC Board on national criminal intelligence priorities; (g) such other functions as are conferred on the ACC by other provisions of this Act or by any other Act. 152 I ACC ANNUAL REPORT 2003–04
Decision-Making Powers and Powers Affecting Members Of The Public The ACC has powers which may affect members of the public. It has the power to: (a) require information from certain Commonwealth agencies; (b) receive information from a State, or an authority of a State under arrangements made by the Commonwealth Minister; (c) make arrangements with any other body or person to receive information; (d) apply for the issue of a search warrant, in some cases by telephone; (e) summon a person to appear before it to give evidence; (f) require a person to produce documents; (g) apply for a court order requiring a witness to deliver his/her passport to the ACC; (h) apply for a warrant for the arrest of a witness considered likely to leave Australia; (i) apply for a warrant for the interception of communications in respect of a telecommunications service; and (j) apply for a listening device warrant in its own right for the investigation of Federal narcotics offences and for certain State and Territory offences. External consultation The ACC Board exists independently of the ACC. It determines NCIPs, provides strategic direction to, and determines the priorities of, the ACC, authorises intelligence operations or investigations and determines the use of the ACC’s coercive powers, establishes task forces and reports to the Inter-Governmental Committee on the ACC (IGC-ACC) on the ACC’s performance. There are arrangements specified in the ACC Act for participation by the IGC-ACC. The IGC-ACC comprises the relevant Commonwealth Minister and a Minister from each participating state and territory. The Act also defines the role and responsibility of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the ACC, comprising five Senators and five Members of the House of Representatives. Although not specifically provided for in the Act, the ACC consults with Australasian Police Ministers’ Council – Senior Officer Group, an advisory group to the IGC, and the Heads of Commonwealth Operational Law Enforcement Agencies (HOCOLEA).
