"foreign actors... criminal gangs" making FOI requests? wtf. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Asked why it was needed, Butler claimed the system was being overrun. Many of them, we’re sure are AI bot generated requests. They may be linked to foreign actors, foreign powers, criminal gangs... we don’t know where those requests come from.

Ah yes, administration fees are the cutting edge for thwarting foreign actors and criminal gangs!

Wouldn't a rating system work better from the requester? Yes, Journalist request more, but they are validated, then weed out the randoms?

If it’s all information that legally should be transparent and open to the public…well suck it up Government.
