Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Records relating to penalties and fines issued in relation to controlled activity orders, ongoing controlled activity orders and rectifications orders are located on individual files and for the period 2007-08 to 2017-18 are not consolidated on an individual list. To provide accurate data Access Canberra would need to review all complaint files. This would require significant manual interrogation of each file and would be an unreasonable diversion of resources. For the period 2018-19 there have been no penalties or fines issued.

(2-4) See response to question 1.
