I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
(1)–(2) No. Election commitment reports are considered by
cabinet and, as such, are cabinet-in-confidence. Further, I am advised
that in response to the member's earlier question, figures provided in
answer to part (1) contained incorrect financial years.
I seek leave to have the response
incorporated into Hansard .
