We need a True FOIA

First Published: 2016-09-17

We are united in urging the following recommendations critical to a true Freedom of Information Act.

Give Power To The People

Creation of an Independent Information Commission, without ties to government, to enforce the Freedom of Information Act.

A clear understanding of why access to information may be denied, defining ‘National Security’ and ‘Public Interest’ exceptions.

Keep Government Honest

A Whistleblower’s Act to protect Government workers who ‘do the right thing’ by sharing information about dishonest behaviour in Government.

The Minister of Information should not have the discretion to withhold information
