I hear all the explanations about looking up the freedom of information officer in the telephone book but that is not necessarily the person who correlated the information. In a big organisation some of this work will have to be farmed out to others. I cannot understand the reason the Minister cannot accept this for the sake of transparency and accountability. The head of any public body found to have ignored the subsection should be accountable to the commissioner. That is the reason Senator O'Toole and I brought forward this amendment.
