(a) – (b)
The information sought by the Member relates to expenditure, over a significant period of nearly a decade, which is publicly available through State Budget Papers, Annual Reports, and other published financial statements.
Providing the information in the form requested would require a significant diversion of resources. As such, it is not considered to be a reasonable use of government resources.
