NHS waiting lists so long some places now have minimum waits, the scale of unregistered children's homes, sold of social houses, and no dentist's appointments.

This week's #FOI stories:

Today I moved my office to the rim of a meteorite crater. It’s a great place to quietly ponder holes in some #FOI decisions I’m appealing.

There's no safe space for parks in Adelaide. There's no safe space for trees in the Adelaide Park Lands. But, in response to an #FOI request, the Govt insists there's a safe space from accountability for the SA Motor Sports Board. #appealed #saparli

#FreedomofInformation (FOI) laws promote and enhance public access to information

Kate Cole & Tim Driscoll use #FOI requests to examine access to information about #RespirableCrystallineSilica exposure from Australian tunnelling projects 👇

Another situation that has gone from bad to worse with the Ford gov't.

CPBH relies on #FOI requests to try and find out what is really going on with organizations like Tarion and HCRA, given the lack of transparency with those organizations.

My response (as Datadaptive) to the questions in the UK Government's call for evidence on making it even easier for public bodies to charge for re-use of public sector data www.owenboswarva.com/blog/post-od...

The call for evidence closes today www.gov.uk/government/c...

#datapolicy #FOI #opendata

There is no way to reconcile the stated objective of making all public sector data "affordable and easy to re‑use" with the plan to increase charging above marginal cost, and indeed the existing widespread practice of charging for high-value datasets is the main barrier to maximising the potential for re-use of public sector data. Charging for re-use and associated terms and restrictions inevitably introduce burdens and friction in the re-use of public sector data, and charging entirely prevents re-use for many use cases – particularly where businesses want to share data directly with customers or combine public data with their own data on the web.

Latest #openaddresses from local government:

Sandwell MBC, in the West Midlands region of England, has released its Council Tax address list as open data www.owenboswarva.com/blog/post-ad... (no download yet)

This was another one that took a while

I’ve crossed into the Territory to use #FOI to conduct some northern exposure.

New book shows how Canada's government is too secret ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

When Matt Malone looks around the world at how other governments handle transparency, he knows that Canada is falling behind.

#FoI post still needs opening...

@owenboswarva.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 4:36 PM

This sounds niche but has broad implications – basically the UK Government wants to make it even easier to charge for re-use of public sector data

Hostile to #opendata but will also be of interest to #FOI supporters, since the plan would likely mean more information withheld under section 43

Pathetic UK government does not know what #datacentres are being used for, #FoI request shows ... lack of information raises fears over environmental impact of the #AI boom
