Hi Derek
As suggested by previous responses you are in the right.
What I would add is that it is not something you need to justify. It is for them to justify their position given all the DP issues and the applicant blind principle. Remember the tests come in this order: legitimate interest, necessity, prejudice /proportionality.
I doubt whether any interest they can think of cannot be satisfied by what you already provide.
Procedurally you need the support of your monitoring officer that this is exempt under s100F(2) LGA 1972 and falls outside the common law "need to know". With such support you have no problem. Without it you also have no problem - let them decide (recording your objections) and take the consequences.
