37061 (2026). Hon Damien O'Connor to the Minister of Justice

37061 (2026). Hon Damien O'Connor to the Minister of Justice: What advice, if any, has the Minister or his office received from agencies or officials within this portfolio since 13 August 2026 regarding the deferral, reprioritisation, or cancellation of meetings, work programmes, or decisions as a result of the ministerial changes of 13 August 2026; and what were the date and title of each piece of any such advice?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I regularly receive advice from my staff and officials concerning the sequencing and scheduling of work across my portfolios. That advice relates to ongoing decision-making and matters that are under active consideration, and I do not consider it consistent with the public interest to disclose this as it would prejudice the orderly and effective conduct of government decision making processes.
