Dear Department of Parliamentary Services,

I note that the Department of Parliamentary Services is listed as a "sponsor" of the 2017 Midwinter Ball on the website advertising the event (http://www.midwinterball.com.au/sponsors...).

I request itemised details of any expenditure incurred by the department for the purpose of sponsoring this event.

Yours faithfully,

John Westbrook
