[FOI Act Part] Part VII — Review by Information Commissioner [FOI Act section] 55U [Recommended action] Section 55U should be amended to make it clear that it applies to documents claimed to be exempt under s 33(1)(a)(i) and s 34: that is, national security and cabinet documents, but not documents affecting defence or international relations. [Issue description] 
The heading of s 55U refers to the 'production of national security and cabinet documents', and the reference in s 55U(1) to ss 33 and 34 notes that those sections are about 'national security documents' and 'cabinet documents' (respectively). But s 33 is about documents affecting national security, defence or international relations. It is not clear whether s 55U is intended to refer to any document exempt under s 33 or only to documents whose disclosure would cause damage to the security of the Commonwealth (s 33(1)(a)(i)).
