Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage (Resumed).
10:30 am
John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)
I do not want to labour the point, but there is a distinction. Within the Office of the Attorney General, the designated person, not the Attorney General, would make the decision. That is why this amendment gives him an inappropriate function and has the potential to draw the Attorney General into political controversies in which he should not be involved.
