John Wood's account in The Canberra Times about the Freedom of Information request for the annual report completed by Allan Asher before his resignation as Ombudsman last year but not tabled in parliament deserves a wide audience, particularly the darting and weaving over the application before the Australian Information Commission ruled it must be released.
So would the record of any back and forward between the office of the Ombudsman and the minister publicly involved in his departure Garry Gray, concerning the decision to ditch Asher's version and table that of acting ombudsman, Alison Larkins. In 28 years or so I imagine. Wood with an FOI involvement stretching way back to the seventies and as a former Deputy Ombudsman had the wood on the office on this one, so to speak.   |
