Beyond the text
What this means in practice
- The Schedule lists other laws that already provide access to records, which section 6 preserves alongside PAIA.
- It currently names the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 and the Financial Intelligence Centre Act · meaning access under those routes isn't displaced by PAIA.
