Foreign Affairs and Trade: Briefings (Question No. 347)
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs
The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
The department does not centrally maintain records of briefings provided to individual Members of Parliament. The department regularly provides assistance, including briefings, to Members of Parliament who travel overseas. To provide the information sought would entail a significant diversion of resources and I do not consider the additional work can be justified.
