Treasury Delays Documents to Avoid Scrutiny

from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A damning audit reveals government departments—especially the Treasury—are routinely delaying freedom of information requests until Friday evenings, often to avoid scrutiny. With no clear policy in place, nearly half of reviewed requests were held back strategically, sparking outrage from independent politicians calling the tactics cowardly and cynical. While the Attorney General pledges to fix the system, they’ve rejected an independent review, and stalled whistleblower reforms further fuel public skepticism about the government’s commitment to transparency.
