Under standing order 74(5)(a), and on behalf of Senators Wong, Gallagher, Watt and Kitching, I seek an explanation from the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham, as to why 71 questions placed on notice through the Table Office between 15 September 2020 and 12 September 2021 remain unanswered. I further seek an explanation on behalf of Senators Wong, Gallagher, Chisholm, Marielle Smith, Kitching, Keneally and me as to why 61 estimates questions placed on notice through the Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet remain unanswered. I note I provided an itemised list to the minister's office earlier today.
