Speaking truth to power: Working with the Official Information Act
In carrying out the role of critic and conscience, academics sometimes find themselves needing to use the Official Information Act. And, as some of our colleagues have experienced, we may also find ourselves targets of requests under the Act. In this seminar, Nicky Hager will draw on his experience and expertise to talk to us about range of issues relevant to the Act. For example, what does the Act allow? What doesn’t it allow? What rights do we have to request information? What rights do we have to refuse requests? And so on. |
