These include budgets, contracts, and salary data. Phone lists for government offices fall into the category of records that should be easy to get. If an agency does not respond or denies your request without a valid reason, you can appeal to the Government Records Council at no cost.

For a second offense within ten years, the fine goes up to $2,500.
