The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

(1) and (2) The information sought over the period from 2005 to 2010 can be found in Defence's biannual publication ' Schedule of Special Purpose Flights'. While the schedule does not detail the number of or which delegations use Special Purpose Aircraft, it does provide the full manifest of passengers and also details the total costs of flying each flight without specifying individual passenger costs. Defence seeks cost recovery for passenger costs from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The schedule is publicly available from the National Library of Australia.
