(b) international travel; and (c) intrastate travel?
(c) intrastate travel?
(c) The information is not readily available and would require reconstructing travel accounts of the previous government for the majority of the travel. Provision of this information would require considerable research which would divert staff away from their normal duties and I'm not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide a response. If the member has a specific inquiry, I will endeavour to reply.
