A Minister Was Questioned in Parliament From His Published Diary — 54 Meetings on the Record. Nine Months Later, NSW Republished It With 57, and No Note.
NSW ministers' diary disclosures run on a one-month clock: 245 of the 257 files published since January 2024 carry server timestamps 30–32 days after their quarter ended — the cadence the Premier's memorandum sets, matched almost without exception at the level a file timestamp can show. The record is less fixed than it looks. Three of one minister's diaries were republished in June 2026 — the two that can still be compared came back changed — one of them 581 days after it first went up, and 280 days after a budget estimates chair had examined him from it. At least two other ministers' diary files were changed in place at the same URL. One superseded version is still online with nothing marking it superseded; two others now return 404. No instrument requires any of this to be noted, and none of it was.
