It is not possible to provide an answer to the questions posed by Mr Coe without a physical recall, inspection and consideration of records held by each ACT Public Sector Agency and in some cases, individual members of the ACT public service.
For this reason it is not possible to answer the member’s question without an unreasonable diversion of the Service’s time and resources and as Chief Minister, I decline to do so.
