Summer holiday blog
I'm not sure whether this is a record or how it compares with other jurisdictions, but The Advertiser reports that in South Australia over 1000 questions on notice in the Parliament remain unanswered. The government says responses to Freedom of Information applications and annual reports contain most of the answers.
In a follow up today The Advertiser helps with a bit of context by reporting on the run around the Opposition has received in response to many specific FOI applications.
The South Australian Government is one of those apparently 'not moved' by calls for review and improvement of FOI and its implementation.
