The Premier and Ministers send and receive thousands of pieces of correspondence each year. Manually collecting this information would require considerable time and resources.
As such, it is not considered a reasonable or responsible use government resources to complete such a task.
If the Honourable Member has a more specific question, I will endeavour to answer it.
