56477 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage: What is the total spending on the hiring of plants by entities for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, broken down by month?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: Several of the entities I am responsible for include commercial operations such as venue hire or studio production as a part of their operations. Entities may hire décor and staging, such as plants, as part of these commercial operations. Operational expenditure can be found in the respective annual reports for each of the entities. I consider that providing further information would require significant collation, and it is not in the public interest to commit taxpayer-funded officials time to undertaking such collation. If the Member could provide further specificity, I may be able to assist further.
