The Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review panel’s surprising decision to keep the 2,200 public submissions secret for months has had immediate repercussions. Some organizations are refusing to disclose their submissions until the panel does and others have noted the missed opportunity for public discussion of a vitally important issue.

The decision has had an impact on university courses and predictably created an information asymmetry with some companies cherry-picking who gets to see their submission.
