View answerMy Department is only aware of two complaints to the Office of the Ombudsman about Freedom of Information matters since the FOI Act was enacted.
The first, made in 2020, is closed and marked 'Resolved' by the Office of the Ombudsman. The second was made this year. My Department’s report to the Office of the Ombudsman in response to the latter complaint will issue this week.
