The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.
Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Lamb shanks bought 2 weeks apart. On the left, out of the freezer bought in person. On the right, shopping online & delivered to my boot. Most of the meat removed on the latter. Seems it pays to shop in person. I'd have looked at other meats.
