Ministers are asked when an FOI is put forward as to whether or not they are going to release the information. As Treasurer, that request would have gone directly to him. If you would prefer the question to be redirected to the Minister for Social Services then that can be done as well, but it is certainly the case that the Treasurer, as Treasurer, has made decisions on exactly this matter.
