Cabinet Minister Paula Bennett is denying she's passed information to political bloggers, but won't release communication records from her office.
Newstalk ZB sought the records after the Prime Minister admitted last month he'd had contact with bloggers including, Whaleoil's Cameron Slater.
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett is adamant she's not passed on any information.
However she's turned down an Official Information Act request covering such communications not because the information doesn't exist, but because checking the records would involve too much work.
Ms Bennett says she hasn't passed on any information, but isn't making the same assurance about her staff.
