The committee still meets and is co-chaired by the Chief Justice and Minister of Justice
Hugely helpful. I'm just about to dig into this deeper, and your timing couldn't be better. Thank you!
Are there any limitations on redactions or can all public institutions operate with zero transparency?
Plenty of limitations, but they're applied so liberally and with so little oversight, the government can effectively do whatever it wants in terms of redacting. We need to change this.
Do you know if there are legal precedents where redactions have been successfully challenged and removed?
