21200 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Lead Coordination Minister for the Government's Response to the Royal Commission’s Report into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions: 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 Erica Stanford: In my capacity as Lead Coordination Minister for the Crown Response to the Abuse in Care Inquiry, I am not responsible for a Vote. The Crown Response Office is funded on a time-limited basis with funding allocated up to 30 June 2027. Time-limited appropriations do not form part of an agency’s ongoing baseline and are therefore not subject to the baseline savings and reprioritisation measures announced in Budget 2026.
