Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009

The FOI Act continues to apply (as if it had not been repealed) to and in respect of—

an application under that Act for access to an agency’s documents or a Minister’s documents that was made or determined before the repeal of that Act, and

any determination made in respect of any such application (whether made before or after the repeal of that Act).

A provision of an Act amended by the Government Information (Public Access) (Consequential Amendments and Repeal) Act 2009 has effect in relation to an application under the FOI Act referred to in subclause (1) as if the provision had not been amended by that Act.

An application to an agency for access to government information that is made within the period of 12 months after the repeal of the FOI Act that states that it is made under or for the purposes of the FOI Act is deemed to state that it is made under this Act and is to be dealt with accordingly.
