It is not my practice to conduct Government business by text message.

Text messages, however, are used for routine matters, such as for office management, scheduling, diary meetings etc.

I am fully aware of my obligations under Freedom of Information legislation and I act in accordance with that legislation. All emails in my office are handled in full accordance with FOI requirements.
