Want to make a public Freedom of Information (FOI) request in Australia? https://www.righttoknow.org.au makes it straightforward - every request and response is published for anyone to read.
But heaps of FOI documents are quietly released onto disclosure logs that no-one reads. So how do you find the interesting ones?
Record Radar reviews every Australian federal department's FOI releases and surfaces the ones worth reading, once a week: https://anilabs.news/recordradar/

This is wild, but not unexpected.
The #Democratic ticket won all four open seats on the #Souderton Area School District board on a platform of #transparency but the outgoing board is salting the earth by ramming through (consent agenda, single reading) a policy to restrict the future members from documents if they had previously filed #RightToKnow requests and generally limiting board member ability to request what they need to perform their duties. #PublicSchools

FOI is under attack. The Albanese Govt’s 2025 Bill bans anonymous requests, adds a “transparency tax”, and expands secrecy powers.
We call on Parliament to reject it and protect Australians’ #RightToKnow.

Can consumers truly choose if they don’t even know what’s in their food? The EU wants to deregulate new GMOs, with no labels or traceability. That’s not innovation — it’s corporate control. 🧬 No label = no choice. ✊ #NoLabelNoChoice #RightToKnow Read more - corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/n...

Reuters Banned in India No Clear Reason Given
On July 5, 2025, Reuters’ X accounts were blocked in India without explanation. While X cited a legal request, the government denied it. This follows a pattern of growing online censorship posts, accounts, and documentaries have been quietly disappearing under vague “national security” claims.
