FOI report lost in transmission in Queensland AGs office?

ADVERTISEMENTS

Government releases FOI access report is one of those headlines that attracts our attention, but it turned out to be an ABC report based on a Media Release by Queensland Attorney General Dick on the operation of the Freedom of Information Act for the period to 30 June last year. The act was repealed and replaced by the Right to Information Act from 1 July 2009. No explanation is offered for the tabling of the 2008-2009 report in Parliament this week. The message of transmission from Information Commissioner Julie Kinross is dated 11 September 2009.

But still, we liked this assurance from the Attorney, and look forward to the comparative study that proves the point, :

?Under the new laws introduced by the Bligh Government, Queensland is well and truly the most open and accountable government in Australia,? he said.

And to this year's annual report being made available sometime before August next year.
