Happy to assist requesters in composing their OIA requests to make them clear and intelligible to agencies. And an interest in assisting requesters on how best they can get the information they need.
Also interested in:
- organisations' internal processes, procedures, and practices, for dealing with the processing, handling and refusal of OIA requests.
- the existence of any legal tests to fulfil the statutory withholding provisions.
