The Senate has handed down its report into the operation of Commonwealth Freedom of Information laws, and Labor reports ‘nothing to see here’. Transparency warrior Rex Patrick looks at the inquiry’s findings.

‘Nothing to see’ is indeed an accurate reflection of the state of the FOI regime, because that’s how most FOI requests are returned … with nothing.
