About OpenGovernmentRecords.net

 

OpenGovernmentRecords.net is dedicated to raising awareness about freedom of information legislation through the creative use of technology and good-spirited fun. While freedom of information legislation is a pillar of democracy and effective citizenship, it is important to recognize we are the first generation with this right and so we need to think creatively about it.

 

OpenGovernmentRecords.net's Dedication

In many government departments a new kind of public servant is appearing: Freedom of Information officers. Australian access scholar Richard Snell has emphasized the vital role these public servants play.  Much more could be said about them but instead I'll just dedicate OpenGovernmentRecords.net to Freedom of Information Officers.

 

 

The Freedom of Information Medal of Service is awarded in recognition of freedom of information officers working in our government and public institutions.
