View answerIt is not my practice to conduct Government business by text message.
Text messages, however, are used for routine matters such as for office management, scheduling, diary meetings etc.
I am fully aware of my obligations under Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation and I act in accordance with that legislation.
All e-mails in my office are handled in full accordance with FOI requirements.
