Mr Kelvin Thomson
asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in writing, on 14 September 2006:
For the 2005-06 financial year, what has been the total cost to his department for external legal advice related to (a) the Australian Wheat Board (AWB), (b) the Cole Inquiry and (c) freedom of information requests related to the AWB and the Cole Inquiry.
Mr Downer (Minister for Foreign Affairs)
—The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:
In relation to (a) and (c), it is long standing practice of successive governments generally not to disclose whether legal advice has been sought. As it is public knowledge that my department has engaged solicitors and counsel for the purposes of the Cole Inquiry, I am prepared to disclose that the total cost of external legal services to my department in financial year 2005-06 in relation to the Cole Inquiry was $1,289,143 (including GST).
