Just to confirm that Labour's relationship with democracy is (shall we say) uneven:

the Govt. is once again (like previous Govt.s) considering constraining & narrowing the scope of Freedom of Information requests, citing cost as the reason, when its more likely linked to such transparency often presented in the Westminster Village as representing a friction that makes governing more difficult.

Of course, they could just be more open & transparent?

We’ve just been through that exercise in #Australia. The facts did not support the govt’s assertions. And, I am glad to say, the legislation was defeated in the Senate.
