          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:39):</by>  I get emails as the Minister for Health from both my parliamentary and my ministerial account. I do use both accounts and often I will respond to a person on the email that they sent me. However, let's be clear, I know that the Freedom of Information Act applies by the content not by the URL, so if it's ministerial business and it's on my parliamentary email account it's still ministerial business, it is still subject to the FOI.</text>
