Even this staunch supporter of an Australian Republic takes the day off, and eyes the list!
Congratulations to all worthies.

Mr Anthony John (Tony) CORCORAN,
For outstanding public service in managing the Freedom of Information function for Defence.
As the Assistant Secretary Freedom of Information and Information Management within the Department of Defence, Mr Corcoran has achieved outstanding results and provided excellent service to Defence in contributing to the Government’s commitment to restore trust and integrity in the use of Australian Government information, and to promote greater openness and transparency. In particular, Mr Corcoran's management of the Freedom of Information (FOI) function has exceeded management expectations, with Defence now 100 per cent FOI compliant, in part because of the very effective hands-on role of Mr Corcoran.
Congratulations to all worthies.

Full citations follow:At the same session and right in this groove Tony Corcoran Asssistant Secretary Freedom of Information and Information Management gave a terrific run down .. on (relatively) new thinking in Defence that brings together various information management and disclosure threads including FOI in a service context. In answer to a question about the result of this branch assuming responsibility for FOI from a legal area, Corcoran said compliance with statutory time frames had gone from 12% previously to 100% currently, reinforcing my view that Legal should provide advice when required, not control and manage the FOI function these days.
