Mr Abbott (Minister for Health and Ageing) —The Special Minister of State has supplied the following answer on behalf of all ministers to the honourable member’s question:

The legislation establishing every Australian Government programme is allocated to particular ministers under the Administrative Arrangements Order. Descriptions of the programmes are available in various publicly available documents and providing details of the benefits and grants provided under those programmes would involve an unreasonable diversion of resources and in some cases, may breach the privacy rights of the individuals who received benefits under various programmes.
