(1) This section
applies to a State archive that is not a parliamentary record and that is at
least 75 years old and irrespective of —
(a)
whether it was a restricted access archive when it turned 75; or
(b)
whether it is in the State archives collection or not.
(2) Unless under
section 48 the Commission has directed that the State archive is an
exceptionally sensitive archive, a person has a right to be given access to
the State archive, subject to section 49 and any express provision in another
written law, and the FOI Act does not apply to or in relation to it.
