INFORMATION PRIVACY ACT 2009 - SECT 7
Relationship with other Acts prohibiting disclosure of information
7 Relationship with other Acts prohibiting disclosure of information
(1) Chapter 3 overrides the provisions of other Acts prohibiting the
disclosure of personal information (however described). Notes— 1 The
Parliament considers that personal information the disclosure of which is
prohibited under a provision of an Act mentioned in the Right to Information
Act , schedule 3 , section 12 is information the disclosure of which would, on
balance, be contrary to the public interest—see the Right to Information Act
, section 44 (2) (a) , as applied under this Act, and schedule 3 , section 12
of that Act.
2 This information is called exempt information and, under the
Right to Information Act , section 47 (3) (a) , as applied under this Act, an
agency or Minister may refuse access to a document to the extent the document
comprises exempt information.
3 However, an agency or Minister may give
access to a document even if this Act provides that access to the document may
be refused—see section 64 (4) .
(2) Other than as provided for in
subsection (1) , this Act is intended to operate subject to the provisions of
other Acts relating to— (a) the collection, storage, handling, accessing,
amendment, management, transfer, and use of personal information; and
(b) the
disclosure, within the meaning of section 23 , of personal information.
