Crisis? What crisis?
Govt's own docs prove that there was no "swarm" of FOI requests that required Australians' FOI rights to be restricted.
No wonder govt delayed 150 days before releasing.

one of the few outlets to publish an accurate account of NSW police brutality. Most media seem very confused by the fact that police blocked the exits and then police attacked people with pepper spray, fists, and steel cap boots.
