Call me a cynic, but I find myself wondering whether Labor would be any better if they were in the position the Liberals hold right now ...

Actually - correction - I don't find myself wondering, I find myself strongly doubting...

Actually I know for a damn fact that they'd be just as bad.

But on the gripping hand, those pesky FOI laws came from somewhere in the first place...

True enough. And I'll be extremely surprised if Labor repeals them.

Inch by bloody inch ...

Time for a reboot of Australian democracy, I say.

You just need to look at the way the Queensland Government manages FOI requests to answer that speculation.
