Ombudsman's OIA Report Delivers More Waffle
Ombudsman's OIA Report Delivers More Waffle
TUESDAY 8 DECEMBER 2015
Responding to the release of the report
of the Chief Ombudsman into government agencies’
compliance with the Official Information Act,
Taxpayers’ Union Spokesman, Ben
Craven, says:
“Over recent years the
performance of the Ombudsman’s Office has been a running
joke in Wellington political circles. This report is the
work of an Ombudsman who has looked everywhere else for the
problem without taking the time to look in the
mirror.”
"The report speaks of changing the culture of compliance. The best way to do that would be to have an Ombudsman doing her job."
"To return New Zealand to having a world class freedom of information regime, we need an Ombudsman who doesn’t pull punches. Instead this report recommends even more policy, bureaucracy and waffle."
The Ombudsman's report is available
here.
