Victoria's FOI regime is moribund and a Vic Parliamentary committee last year recommended a complete overhaul, including abolishing fees. The Gov’s response was frankly bland and almost 12 months on I would have expected an update on progress by now. (4/4)

Instead of charging people to make FOI requests, banning anonymous requests and allowing lengthier requests to be flatly refused, Labor needs to properly resource its institutions to do the jobs we've entrusted them with. (3/4)
