NSW Information Commissioner hits the web

Judge Ken Taylor AM RFD Acting NSW Information Commissioner

The Office of NSW Information Commissioner is up on the web as of today, with details of preparations for the commencement of the Government Information (Public Access) Act, to replace the Freedom of Information Act in early 2010. Among the materials posted is this plain-English guide to the new act Right to information in NSW which provides an overview including the many significant changes from FOI "pull" to the GIPA Act "push" model with its emphasis on proactive disclosure.

For the record I was engaged by the Office to research and prepare a draft of the Guide .
