  • What correspondence, if any, has he or his office had with the Minister for Resources regarding the Conservation Amendment Bill?

Answer

Over the course of the policy development for the Conservation Amendment Bill my office and I engaged with the Minister for Resources as well as many other Ministers. As my office engages in correspondence with my Ministerial colleagues and their offices about a wide variety of matters, and this is not categorized in the way the Member has asked, collating this would require substantial staff resources and thus cost to the taxpayer. I do not believe that this would be in the public interest.
