Okay.
Quickly speaking, whistle-blowers can't wait for these long delays. They don't go through access anymore. There's no point. They're exposed. The longer it sits as a request, the more likely it is that they are going to be spotted and exposed, so they don't want to go there. They won't go there anymore. We do everything we can to work around it. We don't do that.
As Ken said, when we get the information, it's vetted to the point of uselessness. Let's say you get an access; you get this huge stream of exemptions. One, I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not able to look at what all these exemptions are. Two, I'm not allowed to challenge an exemption, because I'm not allowed to look at what the information was that was part of the exemption. Again, it's back to the Information Commissioner: Wait in line. Suffice it to say that it's broken.
The external whistle-blowers I use and I deal with nowadays say—and more than one has said to me—there are long delays and documents are being destroyed. They consider government corruption just part of doing business now.
