Parliament: 40 Session: 1

VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING — PROSECUTIONS

1196. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to my three requests, the first one dating back to 3 September 2019, some 50 days ago, seeking access to correspondence between the commonwealth and the state government in relation to the use of telehealth under the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2019.

(1) Why has the minister not satisfied his obligations under section 82 of the Financial Management Act 2006 within 14 days of a request for information by the Parliament?

(2) Is the minister now in a position to table the information that I seek?

(3) If no to (2), when will the minister be in a position to table this information, which is directly relevant to the consideration of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2019?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(3) The Minister for Health regrettably advises that he is not in a position to table the information sought.
