The applicant sought access to information about a child protection notification in respect of her disabled son.  Assistant Commissioner Shoyer was satisfied that disclosure of the matter in issue would have enabled the identities of confidential sources of information, in relation to the enforcement or administration of the law, to be ascertained, and that it was exempt matter under s.42(1)(b) of the FOI Act. 

He also considered the application of s.42(1)(h) of the FOI Act, and found that disclosure could reasonably be expected to prejudice a system or procedure for the protection of persons established under the Child Protection Act.
