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.
