I put it to the Minister of State that there is a constitutional framework which governs access to Cabinet papers. From my understanding, nobody has the right or entitlement under the law to access the Cabinet meetings, be they the agenda or minutes, of previous Governments unless it is within the law. In others, it is a 12 year or 30 year rule. Has the Minister of State been poring over these agendas?
