Rule of law matters. Rule of law says that courts can order something under the terms of legislation, but that same law says the Govt can, in unusual circumstances, overrule the court.

The law is not being broken in this case, the FOI specifically allows for this. And rightly so. Parliament should be holding Cabinet to account over it. That it's not is a failing in Parliament.
