The Office of Living Victoria - staffed by former Coalition advisers and under investigation by the Ombudsman for its controversial procurement practices - has ruled that all email correspondence between its senior officers, Water Minister Peter Walsh's office and two government departments about budgetary matters cannot be released.

The OLV refused freedom-of-information applications from Fairfax Media, saying it was not in the public interest to release emails written by senior staff because this could ''cause a person stress or anxiety'' and the ''individuals involved would not wish to have their information disclosed without their consent''.
