(a-e) The information being sought by the member is not readily available and would require considerable research, which would divert staff away from their normal duties, and I am not prepared to allocate the State’s resources to provide a response.
However, if the Member has a specific query, I would be pleased to consider arranging for the department to provide information on that particular issue.
