A public forum on FOI in NSW will be held at Parliament House next Wednesday 11 October from 1-2pm. The forum will be chaired by Greens MP Lee Rhiannon and speakers are Wendy Bacon, Investigative Journalist, Ann Smith of Save Barrington Tops Group and yours truly.
The forum will discuss why FOI isn't working. Ms. Rhiannon introduced a Bill in Parliament last week that if passed would require a comprehensive and independent review of the Act.
All are welcome and admission is free. See you in the Jubilee Room Parliament House Macquarie Street Sydney next Wednesday. Doors open at 12.45.
