The Office of E Government is working with all Government agencies on a Website Governance Framework, which will require all agencies to undertake an internal audit of their websites. As part of this audit, agencies will be required to consolidate current websites.
In relation to the questions above, I am unable to provide answers to all the questions on notice due to the extraordinarily wide scope of information being sought.
To develop a response would require a significant and unreasonable allocation of Government resources to source and collate all information requested. The Government does endeavour to answer the majority of questions on notice - and if there are more specific inquiries by the Member I will seek to answer them.
