Freedom of Information

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): My question is again to the Deputy Premier. Can the Deputy Premier explain whether she has a process for determining whether to redact documents before providing them for freedom of information requests and, if so, what is it? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: The Ombudsman stated that reasoning for not disclosing information was 'fanciful' and 'far-fetched' and that he has, and I quote, 'concerns regarding the manner in which the Deputy Premier has applied out of scope redactions' including that, and I quote:

It is far more likely that the Deputy Premier has formed the view that it would not be desirable to release various names and information and has simply opted to state that they are 'out of scope' rather than…justify a claim of exemption.

Mr Telfer interjecting:

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Flinders is called to order.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:22): As I said, in order to confirm that we are talking about the same correspondence, I will take that on notice.

Mr Telfer interjecting:

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Flinders is warned for the first time. Member for Bragg, you have the call.
