56453 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Statistics: What briefings, advice, aide memoires, emails, text messages, memorandums and any other form of communication, broken down by title and date, did the minister, or their departments, if any, send or receive to the Minister of Finance or Minister for Public Services as part of proposing 'savings' as part of the 'baseline savings exercise'?

Hon Andrew Bayly: I refer the member to the proactive release of budget documents on the Budget website.
