24383 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Housing

24383 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Housing: How much, if anything, is being budgeted in the 2025/26 financial year for redundancy payments, severance or other termination packages in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, and how much has been budgeted and spent in the past five financial years?

Hon Chris Bishop: This information will be provided in the 2025/26 Estimates Exam for Vote Housing and Urban Development and will be published soon. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence expense, of answering these questions earlier than planned cannot be justified as a matter of public interest.
