Public interest conditional exemptions—Commonwealth‑State relations
47B Public interest conditional exemptions—Commonwealth‑State relations
A document is conditionally exempt if disclosure of the document under this Act:
would, or could reasonably be expected to, cause damage to relations between the Commonwealth and a State; or
would divulge information or matter communicated in confidence by or on behalf of the Government of a State or an authority of a State, to the Government of the Commonwealth, to an authority of the Commonwealth or to a person receiving the communication on behalf of the Commonwealth or of an authority of the Commonwealth.
Access must generally be given to a conditionally exempt document unless it would be contrary to the public interest (see section 11A).
