AGENCY GO-TO CLAUSES
Is a NSW Government Agency consistently using a particular Clause of the GIPA Act 2009 against you or someone you know to obstruct your legally enforceable rights to access information? Do you have a question about these Go-To Clauses? Send us your comments and feedback via this form below.
The ONLY Clauses of the GIPA Act 2009 an Agency can use to obstruct access to NSW government information is set out in the Table at Section 14, available here. Regrettably, evidence shows many Agencies work very hard to obstruct such access, inclusive of falsifying records and information. Some of these documented actions have occurred in response to requests for Open Access Information Mandated for Release FREE of Charge, however agencies have not made the documents available, have totally refused access, and have imposed substantial fees. It is such misconduct in the exercise of legislated duties that sees the public justifiably dissolusioned and disgusted in the current freedom of information processes, processes which do not work for the benefit of the public.
Each of the Tables at Section 14 of the GIPA Act 2009 will be open for discussion.
