Mrs Johnston
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Communications and the Arts, upon notice, on 12 December 1996:
Did the Minister's Department or instrumentalities under the Minister's control expend sums in 1995-96 in the respect of (a) the Australian Antarctic Territory, (b) the Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands, (c) the Territory of Christmas Island, (d) the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, (e) the Coral Sea Islands Territory, (f) the Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands or (g) Norfolk Island; if so, what (a) sum was expended and (b) was the purpose of each expenditure.
Mr Warwick Smith
—The Minister for Communications and the Arts has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question:
Australia Post has advised that it does not expend sums directly on the Territories concerned, it does incur a range of costs, both direct and indirect, associated with the provision of normal postal services, where these are provided.
These costs are incurred at different points in the network and are not captured separately on a location basis on the Corporation's information systems.
For the remainder of the Minister's Department or instrumentalities the answers are as follows:
In response to parts (b), (e) and (f)—No
In response to (a), (c), (d) and (g)—Yes.
