VenuesWest's response is as follows:
(a) 82
(b) Monthly transaction limts for individual cardholders range from $2,000 to $30,000.
(c) $1,172,196
(d) 3,483
(e) This detailed information would require considerable time, which would divert staff away from their normal duties and it is not considered to be a reasonable or appropriate use of government resources to provide this information.  If the member has a more specific query, I will endeavour to provide a reply.
