The NSW Parliament's Legislation Review Committee has reported that it has no comment to make on the Independent Member for Bligh's FOI Amendment (Open Government-Disclosure of Contracts) Bill which was the subject of an earlier blog on this site.
This in effect means that the Committee concludes that the Bill does not contain any limitations on rights and won't necessarily mean anything in terms of support for the Bill in the Parliament. The Government has the numbers to determine its fate - there has been no public indication of the Government's position to date.
