Australian Human Rights Commission said they would publish "rules, guidelines, practices and precedents" under the Information Publication Scheme by "29 July 2012" https://www.humanrights.gov.au/informati...
They have not done this (at least in any way I can easily find by searching their website) and now a FOI process is required. What a shame.
