The Department of Health and Ageing has published a redacted version of its incoming government brief (four volumes) with this interesting first- hopefully the second version will be marked up so the changes resulting from the 1 November changes to exemption provisions are readily apparent, providing useful learning all round:

The Department will publish a second version of the brief with redactions based on exemptions that apply on or after 1 November 2010 in the near future.
