22178 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Customs: What, if anything, is the average daily rate paid for external consultants and contractors, and how does this compare to the equivalent daily cost of the roles being disestablished as part of savings made in Budget 2026 for votes the Minister is responsible for, if any, broken down by agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible?

Hon Casey Costello: I refer the Member to my response to Written Parliamentary Question 21459 (2026).
