How much in total, if any, was spent on renumeration of Crown appointees in the Minister's departments, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, for the 2025-26 financial year?

Answer

Customs had five Crown appointee positions during the 2025/26 financial year. These positions were within the Ministerial Advisory Group on Transnational, Serious and Organised Crime, which commenced its work in February 2025, and concluded in September 2025. The Group was comprised of one Chair and four Members. I am advised that the total remuneration cost from 1 July 2025 to the conclusion of the Group's work in September 2025, was $93,150.84.
