A Freedom of Information Act? Here??

YES. We have a petition going on now for a Freedom of Information Act, here. SIGN IT!


Okay a little more explanation: as you may or may not know (but probably have suspected for some time), the new Opposition state governments are slowly discovering that there's a lot of dodgy shit going on, and want to make it right. They want to expose as much of it as possible, so we can all fix it - and that includes stuff in the other states, as well as at the federal level. In catchphrase format, they want more Transparency and Responsibility (which, by extension, includes Accountability) for Good Governance.

Ideally, a government (or governments) that is open in the way they do things allows for greater efficiency and creates citizens who genuinely care about what their government is up to - simply because it's their money and they know exactly what's going on with it. For longer explanations, read up this blog, which has a couple more links for more info.


At the end of the day, ignorance is no longer a valid excuse.

Sign the petition.
