Reporting on the death knell of the secret state.

The Sydney Morning Herald report today on Premier Rees announcement of the end of excessive secrecy in NSW unexpectedly describes me as a former head of the freedom of information unit in the Premier's office. For anyone scratching their head about this, I was never in that position nor ever an employee of the NSW Government. Merely a consultant including to Premier's for the first couple of years in getting FOI up and running in NSW.These days more commenting than consulting.
