9368 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Internal Affairs

9368 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Internal Affairs: 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?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I have interpreted this question as referring to the Department of Internal Affairs, and Crown entities and other statutory bodies within my portfolio responsibility, and any funding (grants, subsidies, or contributions) they have distributed since 27 November 2023 to recipient entities where they are aware that a person holding a governance role in that recipient entity is also a current member of the governing parties’ boards, officers, or staff. This information is not centrally held, and it is not routine to collect or maintain detailed information on the political affiliations or employment of individuals associated with recipient organisations. Accordingly, we do not hold this level of information and collecting it would require substantial time and resources.
