Given the recent finding of the High Court re access to Australian 
government information through FOI processes and their gutting of the 
legislation (in my best Little Britain voice: Ruddock says no), the US 
approach is much more enlightened. There was a link on the NASA site to 
this specific section on their website for access to info:

http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/FOIA/agency/

They even provide a listing of the electronic access rooms around the 
country to get the information.

Would that our AU governments saw their positions as WORKING FOR us, 
instead of RULING us.
