Was hätte die Informationsfreiheit gebracht?

Wiederin, Ewald
- Abstract
The article presents the author's comments on the failure of the freedom of information bill in the Austrian Parliament. The author opines that the bill should have passed as it is time to frame legislation which brings in transparency. The author blames the Federal Constitution of 1920 for bringing in more secrecy. The author notes that since 1987, Article 4 of the constitution has required all administrative bodies to provide information on matters affecting their sphere of influence.
