I'm not sure if they maintain archives, but I do know getting them to GPL previously taken photographs would be a lot more difficult than getting them to release those taken after an election where the members consented. If we could get them to do this during the next election it would give everyone a reading where the politicians stood on the matter. I can't see how we could let public officers get away with saying no, but until we have this implemented we won't know. Is there anyone interested in working with me on pursuing this matter?
