Freedom of Information Amendment Bill 2006

Debate resumed from 23 November 2006, on motion by Mr Corbell:

That this bill be agreed to in principle.

MR STEFANIAK (Ginninderra—Leader of the Opposition) (10.45): The opposition supports this bill with the exception of clause 7, which it opposes. A number of elements in this bill are quite reasonable. They relate to terminology and process in respect to personal information; the extension of time to enable consultation in certain circumstances; the process for release of documents likely to affect relations between the territory and a state or the commonwealth, or business relations; and the exemption of documents that may affect national security, defence of the commonwealth, any state or territory, or international relations of the commonwealth.
