(a)(i)-(iv) As part of the State Government's ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability, Ministerial Staff issued with mobile phones are identified in the Ministerial Resourcing Report tabled in Parliament every quarter.
The most recent report was tabled in the Legislative Council earlier this year (see tabled paper no 1256 Ministerial Resourcing Report - Quarterly Report as at 27 February 2014).
The next Ministerial Resourcing Report will be tabled in Parliament in due course.
Any other details on mobile phones and expenditure should be sought through a freedom of information application so that appropriate considerations can be made with respect to the provision of personal information.
