The bill seeks to provide for an offence for a person who, in relation to an application for access to an agency's documents, directs a prescribed officer of the agency to make a decision or determination for the purposes of this act that the person knows, or ought reasonably to have known, is not a decision or determination that the office should, in the circumstances, make.</text>
