Stop The Secrecy
Freedom of Information laws were designed to make it hard for governments to keep secrets from the public, or lie to them.
But for decades governments have allowed the weakening of our Freedom of Information laws, to the point where government secrecy and dishonesty has never been worse.
This must change.
Government secrecy is anti-democratic and undermines basics rights and freedoms.
The Solis Foundation will work to strengthen the Freedom of Information laws so that governments can no longer lie and deceive the public over important matters that affect all of our lives.
