Peter Boshier: Chief Ombudsman on report finding significant gaps in our Official Information Act practices
The Chief Ombudsman has found significant gaps in our Official Information Act practices.
Peter Boshier's report looks at how well a dozen core government agencies are complying with the Act.
Overall, he's found the public service is increasingly transparent and open.
But, he says, chief executives and other senior leaders still need to make sure their agencies have the resources and systems in place to handle their OIA workloads.
He's discovered examples of media teams breaching the Act by failing to give journalists a reason when they've refused to provide information.
Boshier is growing concerned about the experiences journalists are reporting, and the apparent dismissal of them by some agencies.
