The $8,300 in expenditure related to a community attitudes study to understand community attitudes to access to government information.  The study was coordinated by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of New South Wales and included other select members of the Australian Information Access Commissioners.
Details of the study were reported in the OIC's 2018/19 Annual Report (on page 31) and 2019/20 Annual Report (see page 42, including links to study outcomes).
The study was funded by existing appropriations.
