Question

Senator RUSTON: Have you undertaken any facility or premises upgrades in your offices during the 2025-26 financial year? Ms Connolly: Yes, we have. I'll just ask the CFO if he has the details to hand. I can tell you that we've recently reopened our Darwin office after a period of closure due to work health and safety concerns. That involved some work to upgrade air conditioning, ventilation et cetera. Mr Richardson: I don't have the details on hand, but, as Ms Connolly said, we have done some fit-outs and so forth across nine different locations. We have done some upgrades across those locations as part of our capital budget. I can take it on notice; I'm afraid I don't have any further detail for you now. Senator RUSTON: That's fine-and if it's substantial. If you have just painted a room then I don't need to know. But if there were any substantial works-obviously, Darwin was a substantial refurb-then please let us know which offices and the costs. That would be great.
