10188 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs

10188 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: What communications, public relations, or reputation management contracts, if any, have been entered into by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, supplier, contract value, contract start date, and purpose?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am responsible for six Crown entities: Accreditation Council, Commerce Commission, External Reporting Board, Financial Markets Authority, Retirement Commission and Takeovers Panel. Providing the level of information sought by the member within a written parliamentary question timeframe would involve substantial collation and review and require entities to divert personnel from their core duties. I do not consider that the time and expense of answering this question to this level of detail within this timeframe is in the public interest.
