Pirate Party slams extreme govt secrecy
news Pirate Party Australia has condemned the actions of Attorney-General Nicola Roxon, whose department has refused to release documents regarding closed door discussions on the issue of Internet copyright infringement under Freedom of Information laws.
Pirate Party Australia is a group of like-minded individuals with its origins in similar parties in Europe who advocate the citizens’ right to freedom of information and culture, civil and digital liberties, and governmental transparency. In Europe the parties have been successful in the electoral process.
In a media release issued this week, the Party stated that Government continual secrecy and outright refusal of public sector institutions to release documents was a serious threat to Australian democracy, and must be curbed immediately. It reiterated that all government negotiations – whether with industry or foreign governments – must be transparent, accountable and available to the Australian public. The media release went on to say that when governments hide negotiations that take place with vested interests, from the public, it is likely that these vested interests would get what they want, regardless of the wishes of the people the government is meant to serve.
