  2. Broken train air con, 33C hospital wards and hosepipe bans, the weather has been providing the inspiration for the #FOI requests for stories during that bit of August when everyone's on holiday:

  3. When the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner set out to check whether agencies publish the documents they release under FOI, it needed a record of what had been released and when.
    For part of that work, it used Right to Know. The review of 30 agencies' disclosure logs names it more than thirty times and cites it in the footnotes.

  4. Enfield Council says the public must pay £182 to view its full HMO register.

    Yet the Housing Act requires the register to be available for public inspection, while Enfield’s own budget labels the charge “Copy of HMO Register”.

    I’ve sent an open letter asking the council to identify the legal basis for charging to inspect it.

  5. Représentations croisées

    Deux personnes se tiennent devant la même fenêtre. L’une regarde un arbre, l’autre un ciel qui commence après l’arbre. Elles diront toutes deux : « nous avons vu la même chose » et ce sera faux, même avec la meilleure foi du monde. Aucun œil n’occupe l’espace d’un autre œil. C’est une évidence si triviale qu’on l’oublie aussitôt qu’on la formule. Voir suppose un lieu, et deux corps ne partagent jamais le même lieu au même instant. Ce qui vaut pour […]

  6. END SECURITY BY OBSCURITY

    Tribunal has granted confidentiality orders over critical evidence in my #myGov app source code #FOI case. Read more: openmygov.au/posts/2026-08-06-

    Only 4 weeks until the main hearing. Thanks to all supporters. Chuffed campaign is still open if you want to help!

  7. La Vérité est un pays sans chemin (Krishnamurti)

    Krishnamurti       La Vérité est un pays sans chemin Aucune organisation, aucune foi, nul dogme, prêtre ou rituel, nulle connaissance philosophique ou technique de psychologie ne peuvent y conduire l’homme. Il lui faut la trouver dans le miroir de la relation, par la compréhension du contenu de son propre esprit, par l’observation et non par l’analyse intellectuelle ou la dissection introspective. L’homme s’est construit des images religieuses, politiques ou […]

  8. @RussCheshire An excellent article and a demonstration as to why attempts to restrict the application of the FOI should be fought. Hiding information so that Glasgow councillors are not voting without the facts and their implications before them is just WRONG. And corrupt.

  13. How is this even possible? Why isn't this the biggest scandal in Europe?

    Critics fear the reforms could weaken government transparency by curbing civil society's access to official information and limiting requests.

  14. I have reached the "Seeking quotes for certified translations of Danish government reports" stage of my descent into #FOI litigation madness.

  15. @autisticallysarah.com After trying a few days not to get involved, I again wrote an #FoI request, this time for the grant agreement for this new project. The publicity material of these large projects is usually rather different from what the teams in charge signed up to in the grant agreements, which is why for transparency it is so important for these grant agreements to be published.

  16. The Freedom of Information Act 1982 doesn't have a provision for directly engaging the CEO of an agency.

    But it doesn't prohibit it either 😉 .

    Mixed results: a win for open justice, but a setback for my case. I'll tell all at tonight's supporter Q&A!
