Freedom of Information
Explanation:
- You have the right to request access to government-held information under the Freedom of Information Act of 1982.
- This includes data they have on you or knowledge about government policies and choices. Every government decision and activity is based on information, which is a significant and powerful resource.
- With few exclusions, the right of the public to access information held by Australian Government ministers and agencies, including Norfolk Island agencies, is known as freedom of information (FOI). The Freedom of Information Act of 1982 promotes and protects this right (FOI Act).
- The Freedom of Information Act recognises that the information held by the government is a national resource that is managed for public purposes, and that public access to it should be quick and inexpensive. Each state and territory also has a freedom of information law that applies to all state and territorial agencies.
- If a document qualifies for a conditional exemption, the agency or ministry must also determine whether publishing it would be in the public interest.
- They can't deny access to a document only because it falls under a conditional exception; it has to be in the public interest as well.
- An agency or ministry must assess reasons favouring access vs those favouring non-disclosure when determining whether publishing a document is against the public interest.
- The FOI Act outlines factors that favour access. They include the question of whether granting access will promote
