the Minister for Police, I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.

unclear what documents are being referred to, but if the ambit of the question
can be narrowed and more clarification can be provided on the information being
sought, an assessment can be undertaken to determine whether relevant documents
can be identified.

minutes of the corporate group for diversity management are internal documents
that relate to operational matters and are deliberative in nature. It is not
considered appropriate for these documents to be released.
