Answer

As the Minister for Media and Communications, I am not responsible for any departments. As for the entities, per Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the material requested for any entities I am responsible for, as it will require a significant diversion of resource. The Member may wish to consider asking a more specific question.
