This is a minor point. It gives the government broad power to reject any request, associations and media outlets are excluded, it costs more and the mandatory REDACTION OF NAMES is undercutting accountability completely.

Yea, I don't give a shit wether only citizen should be able to request data.

The politicians' names are mandatorily redacted, but the requestor's name is mandatorily not redacted. Very convenient, really.
