9771 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Media and Communications

9771 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Media and Communications: What contractor or consultant engagements, if any, are currently active across any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible, where the individual contractor or consultant is being paid at a rate exceeding $200 per hour, listed by department or entity, role or engagement description, daily or hourly rate, and contract start date?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: As the Minister for Media and Communications, I am not responsible for any departments. As 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.
