Introduction

Many laws recently introduced included clauses and sections that prevented disclosure of information, some even making it a criminal offence. When such a restriction exists, The FOI Act's Section 44 comes into play, and is used as an absolute exemption which means that no information can be released, even when there may be an overriding public interest.
