Summary: The complainant requested a copy of a report prepared by the Local Government Ombudsman following a visit to numerous Ombudsmen in Australia. A copy of the report was provided to the complainant however some information was redacted on the basis that section 36(2)(b)(ii) and 36(2)(c) applied. On review the LGO confirmed its reliance on that exemption, although one additional section of information was provided to the complainant. The Commissioner's decision is that the LGO was correct to apply section 36(2)(b)(ii) to the information. He has also decided that the LGO breached section 10(1) in not providing the information within the required 20 day period.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
