Media releases

Media releases are issued regularly by Government Ministers, Departments and Electoral offices. Ministers use media releases to keep the public informed about the latest news relating to their portfolio. Media releases may include transcripts of interviews and speeches.

You can view media releases by portfolio or topic and subscribe to receive updates using Capital Monitor:
