Ministerial liasion
The number of briefs the Commission prepared in 2004–05 was similar to the previous year, however, there was a significant decline in the number of Commission responses prepared to ministerial correspondence, falling from 43 letters in 2003–04 to 28 in 2004–05 (see Table 37). Obviously the volume of correspondence is dependent on the amount of correspondence the Minister receives.
Table 37: Preparation of ministerial briefs and correspondence
| 2003–04 | 2004–05 | |
| Briefs | 81 | 89 |
| Correspondence | 43 | 28 |
The Minister assesses the quality of the Commission’s briefs using a five-point scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (outstanding). During 2004–05 all briefs received a rating of 4 or 5, apart from a small number of briefs that were inadvertently not rated.
