The Attorney-General's Department released flight and airline lounge membership expenditure data for four department employees (Sarah Chidgey, Cameron Gifford, Tamsyn Harvey, and Simon Newman) covering a 12-month period to February 2025. The disclosure shows individual flight counts and values by airline (Qantas and Virgin) for department-funded travel, with Chidgey recording the highest expenditure at approximately $11,081 across 10 flights. Information for Australian Government Solicitor officers was withheld under section 7(2), part II of Schedule 2 of the FOI Act. Document 2 appears to contain corrupted or repetitive data unrelated to the main disclosure topic. Document 3 references a task management record for Deputy Secretary Iain Anderson but provides limited substantive information about gifts or benefits administration.
