From: Mohammed Khan

Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

In auditing financial accounts we will often apply a Benford's law test, which assists in identifying fraudulent data based on numerical distributions. As such, I have a sole further question raised by the response to OIA26 0390, regarding the monthly slaughter reports provided to MPI in regards the slaughter of chickens under Section 15A(d).

1) Please provide, in full, electronic form (not summarized) the monthly slaughter reports relating to Section 15A(d) slaughter for 2011, 2018, and 2020.

Many thanks,
Mohammed Khan
