Start set for February next year
The Freedom of Information Act will come in gradually across Government, starting early next year.
The roll-out will start in February next year with full implementation two years later.
An Independent Information Commissioner will oversee its operation. And along with a number of exemptions, the Act won't go back further than the start of the present administration, in 2011.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says the gradual rollout is for practical reasons:
