6 Holding government information (1) A public sector organisation holds government information if the organisation has possession or control of the information: (a) whether alone or jointly with another person or body; and (b) whether the information is in the Territory or elsewhere. (2) At any time, a public sector organisation is taken to hold government information that has been transferred to the archives service under Part 9, Division 4 (Managing archives) but is not yet available to the public under that Division if the organisation is responsible at that time for the function to which the record relates.
