Dear Sebastian
Official Information Act request relating briefings received since 20 April 2021
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 7 February
2022. You requested:
“I would like to request a list of all briefings received by the Minister since 20 April 2021
in his capacity as minister for this portfolio. I would like this list to include the report
title, date received, and the agency that produced the briefing.”
The time frame for responding to your request was extended under section 15A of the Act by
20 working days because it necessitated consultations to be undertaken before a decision
could be made on the request. Following this extension, I am now in a position to respond.
The table below is a list of all official advice I have received in my portfolio as Lead
Coordination Minister for the Government's Response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry’s
