[FOI Act Part] Part III — Access to documents [FOI Act section] 22(4) [Recommended action] Section 22(4) should be amended to make it clear that s 26 does not apply to a decision to provide an edited copy which gives access to some of the document, unless the applicant requests a s 26 notice. [Issue description] 
Section 22(4) says that s 26 does not apply to a decision to 'refuse access to the whole document' unless the applicant requests a s 26 notice. This is ambiguous. From the context (s 22 is about providing access to edited copies) it is probably intended to refer to a decision to provide an edited copy which gives access to some of the document, though not the whole document. But it could also refer to a decision to give access to none of the document.
