Re: Freedom of Information Request – Privy Councillors Visit – Attendee Lists and Videos
“Under the Freedom of Information Act, in relation to the visit of the Privy Council judges in 2022, I am hereby requesting records concerning the following:

1. List of attendees/guest list regarding:

a. Reception at Government House, Wednesday, 16 November 2022
b. Gala dinner, Friday, 18 November 2022

2. Videos (accompanied by audio) of:

a. Reception at Government House, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 b. Gala dinner, Friday, 18 November 2022

“You will appreciate that both were government events, or co-hosted by government, and were funded or partly funded by the public purse. I therefore believe that they can be disclosed. Most of the attendees would have been public servants. This is a sort of event which GIS would normally record so there can be no expectation of privacy by any individual.”
