Re: Grant Application from Fraser Tweedale for Support the myGov Code Generator source code FOI review

Whilst acknowledging the perspective represented by Marcus in his reply 
to Fraser's application, I also think this is something LA should 
support as an organisation.

Litigation via the FOI process is the only way to make official progress 
in cases like this, and Fraser's efforts are commendable and much 
appreciated.
