21164 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage: On how many occasions, if any, broken down by date and title of email or document received, have staff employed in the Minister's office received emails or official Government documents provided to them in their capacity as employees in email accounts that weren't provided to them by Ministerial Services, Parliamentary Services or any other Public sector provider?
Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that, from time to time, staff in my office have sent emails from parliamentary email addresses for several reasons, such as forwarding personal emails and travel documentation, sending copies of final press releases and media lines as the outlook application restricts the ability to copy/paste, or to print where access to the parliamentary network is not possible. I am assured that none of the emails contain any material of a sensitive nature.
