    44. Spent $675,000 travelling to investigate drought relief. When asked why nothing was produced from the trip, the government pointed to SMS messages, calling them "reports". When asked via a Freedom of Information request, and also by the Information Commissioner to publish these reports, the government refused, claiming it would take 50 hours of work to dig up a few SMS messages from a specific phone. The government refused to give a breakdown of those 50 hours.
