20991 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Corrections: On what date, if at all, did the Minister first receive advice from the Government Chief Digital Officer, the Public Service Commissioner, the Privacy Commissioner, Treasury, or any other agency regarding the feasibility, cost, delivery risk, timeframes, and limitations of substituting AI tools for the roles being disestablished as part of savings made in Budget 2026 for votes the Minister is responsible for, if any, and what did that advice say, and will the Minister release it, broken down by agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible?
Hon Mark Mitchell: Corrections is exempt from the baseline savings target and therefore no roles are being disestablished within the Corrections portfolio to achieve savings for Budget 2026.
