Joined Right to Know in 2013
Just a girl who likes to write, and likes the law, and likes to write about the law.
Christmas Day 2018: I have returned after a long study absence. My English is now almost professional legal standard but not perfect. I understand most idioms but do not always produce them correctly.
I am just another user of Right to Know but I know a little bit about the Freedom of Information law in Australia. If you need any help with an application you can send me a message through Right to Know.
