The first thing I would do if I could just snap my fingers—and it could be done by snapping your fingers by a small change to the act—is provide the Information Commissioner with the task of issuing their decision within a year. If we ask organizations to release documents in 30 days, surely we can ask the Information Commissioner to do their job within a year. If a year goes by and you don't have a decision, then you get a free pass to go to the Federal Court if you need to.
