How much in total, if any, is forecast to be 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 2026-27 financial year?

Answer

As Minister for Tourism and Hospitality, I have no responsibility for any government departments or Ministries. With regard to Crown entities under the Tourism and Hospitality portfolio, I am advised that the budgeted total remuneration amounts for each body for which I am responsible are classified as operational expenses and are individually budgeted by each entity. These amounts will be disclosed in each body's annual report at the completion of the financial year.
