What funding, if any, has been distributed by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible to any entity in which a current member of the governing parties' boards, officers, or staff hold a governance or paid role since 27 November 2023, listed by recipient entity, amount, purpose, date, and the name of the connection?

Answer

I am advised that Police and the Serious Fraud Office does not routinely collect information about the political party connections of individuals who hold remunerated or governance positions with entities that may receive Police funding. Police therefore does not hold the information in the form requested. To identify any such connections would require considerable effort to assemble and it is not clear if this would even possible to do so. The time and associated cost in obtaining this information are not, in my view, justifiable.
