The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

It is a long-standing practice of the Government to consider commercial information provided to the Government by employers to be confidential. The Government does not disclose information about the commercial affairs of sponsors as this could adversely affect their business and prejudice the future supply of information to the Government.
