Freedom of information study disputed

Eastern Graphic publisher Paul MacNeill

 Graphic publisher Paul MacNeill has a problem with the conclusion, given the review was based on only four, narrow questions.

MacNeill is aware of at least one appeal for information that has been at the information and privacy commissioner’s office for two years.

Journalism professor Fred Vallance-Jones, who ran the audit, said the audit was never meant to be definitive. It is deliberately simple in the questions it asks, so government doesn’t have an excuse for not releasing the information in a complete and timely manner.
