This detailed information is not readily available and to collate this information would divert staff away from their normal duties, including the important job of supporting the community. Therefore, it is not considered to be a reasonable or appropriate use of government resources and I am not prepared to allocate the State’s resources to provide a response. If the Member has a particular question about a specific time period, I will endeavour to provide a response.
