It seems that Labor is trying to weaken Freedom of Information Disclosure legislation..
> Instead of rolling back the cabinet exemption, she’s dramatically expanding it, virtually back to where it was before Labor’s John Faulkner reduced the exemption in 2009, when everything vaguely connected to the cabinet process was exempt. The Centre for Public Integrity called it “a classic Yes Minister move”. Younger generations might call it something else: blatant gaslighting.
It's particularly perverse that they're trying to misinterpret a finding from the Robodebt royal commission that advocated limiting the cabinet exception to instead advocate for expanding it.
