    I did post this one a while ago. My picture of a bellbird on a branch. At least it would have been a bellbird but as a pressed the shutter a Tui flew in to chase it away

    For bodies that have open OIAs registered with FYI where those OIAs are more than 60 days old, what percentage are the number of those OIAs of all OIAs received by that body. Or in less technical terms, how many of each bodies OIAs have fallen into the void (only showing those who have had some fall into the void).

    I recalculated on the basis of IS's comments, pulling the 60 and 90 day back earlier into time (by an amount depending on the period being checked) it does really change anything about the fast OIAs getting faster and the slow OIAs getting slower. I should also note there was a lot of stuff getting out the door fast in July/ August/ September.

    Here are percentages of OIAs resolved in 20, 30, 60 and 90 days.

    I would interpret (you might want to open this graph in a new window) that as the government has gotten fast at releasing information it is happy to have released (the 20 days level), but that hasn't affected the 30 days threshold so it is not all things getting faster within the 30 area (indeed I assume some of the ones above 20 got slower, since the results in the 20 threshold are not reflected at the 30 level). From the the 60 and 90 day levels we can see that the government has gotten slower at releasing things it does not want to release. Caveats about the samples and the number per month apply.

    1st graph the long term trend is for about half of OIA requests to be resolved in twenty days or less. This hasn't changed much in two years in the FYI data. This says nothing about how long the post-20 day ones have been taking

  • Hard News: Media Take: The creeping…, in reply to Rowan Crawford,

    For the R users, this gets the pertinent data into a data frame, but I haven't had time to clean up the dates etc.
