A significant policy shift, announced without public consultation, will prompt a carefully crafted Right to Information (RTI) application targeting the decision-making process. Clarity of questioning is paramount.

The initial RTI response will cite 12 different exemptions under various sub-sections, producing a single, entirely blank page. Prepare for multiple appeals and possibly a public interest litigation.

Your persistent efforts will eventually yield a partial disclosure of meeting minutes, revealing only that the 'matter was discussed at length' and then 'decided by consensus' without any dissenting views recorded.
