Federal Information Commissioner lurking?
The Courier Mail was running ahead of itself with a reference to the federal Information Commissioner in this article at the end of January about violent incidents at public venues in Queensland. There isn't such a position, let alone an occupant at present, and Karen Curtis is the Federal Privacy Commissioner. Does the CM know something the rest of us don't?( a mistype more likely as implied by the commenter.)
In that article, "Information Commissioner" in "federal Information Commissioner" links to Office of the Information Commissioner (Qld) http://www.oic.qld.gov.au/
