Can any person explain to me why the Victoria Police (and the NSW police, I think) always tell an applicant that they must provide proof of identify. To me this will be understandable when a person is requesting personal information but in this application the applicant is requesting some statistics.
I do not know the law of the state of Victoria or New South Wales in detail but I do not remember anything in the NSW GIPA Act that would require an applicant to prove who they are. Am I wrong?
