Freedom of Information

What information do people need to scrutinise public decisions?

Access to information can make accountability possible, while privacy and legitimate safety needs can justify specific limits. The framework asks for reasons, proportionality and a route to challenge withholding. A general appeal to stability or confidentiality should not end scrutiny. Disclosure also needs to be usable, and legal access rights depend on the relevant jurisdiction.

A question to sit with (optional): What is being withheld, why, and who can independently review that reason?
