Happy Birthday to us

ReplyDeleteI've been checking your site every week for a year for work (CTH PS), and you've highlighted some good cases and helped show I'm not alone in my analysis of how 'strong' or 'political' a FOI decision could be perceived.
I don't usually comment, but there are times I should have - eg to support Joan Savic's PSM - the Privacy Information Group at Centrelink (over 15 of them across Aust) have really helped raise the profile of privacy and how it is subtly different to 'client confidentiality', and also in promoting PIAs for new projects.
Keep up the good work.
Happy Birthday. You deserve a medal for all your commitment and hard work.
ReplyDeleteYour efforts are noticed and appreciated.
