Victoria FOI a mess, no sign of interest in clean-up either
There is nothing to say about the sad state of Freedom of Information in Victoria that David Rood and Jonathon Dowling haven't said in Secret State in The Age today - except in the reform stakes, while mentioning Federal Government plans, they make no reference to how Queensland and NSW have already acted to turn FOI on its head with modern laws that better reflect the Information Age in which we live. Case study 1 and 2 about recent Age experiences help to make their point.
