Understanding Right to Information

Right to Information (RTI) is more than just a term; it's a powerful tool for the public. Governed by the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld), the RTI act is designed to give citizens access to information held by the government. It's an embodiment of the belief that people have the right to know about decisions affecting them, how those decisions are made, and the implications arising from them.
