What the document says
“(1) All categories of records released and withheld. (2) A summary of redactions made, including legal basis.”
Paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 3. The report must list all categories of records released and all categories withheld, and must summarize the redactions made, including their legal basis.
What the document actually says
“(1) All categories of records released and withheld. (2) A summary of redactions made, including legal basis.”
That sentence, in plain words
The report must list the kinds of files that went out. It must list the kinds held back. It must sum up what was blacked out and why.
What this is about
A category is a group of files that are alike. The report works by group, not one file at a time.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
