53786 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for ACC: What was the total expenditure, if any, by agencies for which the Minister is responsible, if any, since 27 November 2023 on (a) branding, marketing, or promotional materials; (b) consultants or contractors engaged for branding, internal communications, or culture-related projects; (c) novelty or promotional items such as (but not limited to) pens, stress balls, model animals, or branded clothing; (d) office furnishings, décor, or recreational equipment; (e) non-essential electrical items or appliances; (f) staff wellbeing or break-room facilities; (g) novelty, decorative, or entertainment items, whether purchased or hired; (h) repairs, replacements, or damages to property or hired items; and (i) expenditure recorded under “miscellaneous” or “other” cost categories, listed by agency, date, purpose, supplier, and total cost?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am advised by ACC that it cannot provide the level of information sought by the Member within a written parliamentary question timeframe as doing so would involve substantial collation and review, and require it to divert personnel from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering these questions to this level of detail within this timeframe is not in the public interest. ACC has been able to collate some information; I refer the Member to the attached document.
