As the Member is aware, the Office of e-Government has been working with all Government agencies on a Website Government Framework, which requires all agencies to undertake an internal audit of their current website.
Audit data received to date indicates there are 671 active websites - covering a broad range of entities, including schools.
In relation to the questions above, to develop a response would require an unreasonable allocation of Government resources to source and collate all information requested.
This does not apply to section (c), which was asked in a similar question by the Member last year. I refer the member to Question on Notice 2792 through to 2806.
As part of the development of the new Website Governance Framework, it is intended that agencies will be required to report annually on the cost of their websites to the Office of e-Government.
