Answer

I am advised that the Ministry of Justice spent $7,230.50 on an emissions audit in the 2025 financial year as per the requirement of the Carbon Neutral Government Programme. The Ministry also spent $1,590.00 to carry out an annual waste audit at the Justice Centre. Therefore, a total of $8,820.50 was spent in the 2025 financial year. The Ministry does not budget on a calendar-year basis.
