Office of the NSW Information & Privacy Commissioner Confirms Blocking on Twitter for Minimum of 12-Months, Feb 2023
Have you had difficulties getting access to the Office of the NSW Information & Privacy Commissioner (IPC)? Have you been labelled problematic, or vexatious, fixated, querulous, for continuing to petition this government department to seek out your rights and warranted action against agencies? Are there problems with the legislation and agency conduct in the exercise of the legislation which you have reported and which has not been investigated? Do you feel the IPC favours NSW government agencies? The public is invited to provide commentary on personal experiences with the legislation and the IPC itself, and on whether or not it agrees with the IPC's decision to punish NSW Freedom of Information, without giving any right of reply or meeting, by blocking access to Twitter? In the above letter, the Commissioner has notably neglected to articulate which parts of any Tweet are QUOTE "not respectful of indiduals and government agencies or is considered offensive or misleading" UNQUOTE. It is more likely the Commissioner and her staff just don't want to hear what the public has to say about the way she panders to agency personnel at the detriment to the public she serves. The Office of the NSW Crown Solicitor's Kiri Mattes recently stated in NCAT proceedings that "it is the role of the IPC to educate and train the public in the exercise of the GIPA Act". Apparently the IPC does not feel NSW Freedom of Information qualifies as part of the public.

Thank you!
