Written answers

In addition to my Ministerial work phone, I can confirm that I have used my personal phone for Government business.  My personal phone is equipped with a secure work container, which was installed on the device by my Department’s IT team, providing me with access to my Departmental emails and Ministerial calendar.

Neither I nor my Departmental officials are aware of any occasion during my term in office where my personal phone has been hacked, or of any instance of an attempted hack.
