Meanwhile, some good news from the Rudd team:
Federal cabinet has backed the abolition of the "conclusive certificates" which give ministers the power to block access to documents requested under FoI legislation.I wonder if that article by Richard Ackland had anything to do with this?
Decisions on whether to release the documents would fall solely to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, which could no longer have its rulings overturned by government ministers keen to keep documents private, Senator Faulkner said.
And I wonder if any reporters at today's Inside Kevin 07 book launch asked Mr Rudd about his plans for Australian troops in Iraq if the USA withdraws by 2010, as Obama is promising and the Iraqis are demanding?
