Australia - 24 years, $1m cost for FOI request

A government agency has claimed that a freedom of information request will
take more than 24 years to process and could cost nearly $1 million.

In evidence tendered to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal,
CenITex, the state government's centre for information technology
excellence, says it cannot easily search its email archive and must spend
tens of thousands of dollars purchasing new equipment to retrieve and
restore emails from an external company.
