Government Programs

In reply to Mr GEE (Taylor) (18 November 2020).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The following information is provided on behalf of all Ministers:

The Agency Statements present agency financial information allocated by major areas of activity or 'programs'.

The preparation of this information is an extensive process and involves the allocation of a range of agency overhead costs. This process is undertaken annually at budget time in order to clearly define and allocate the budget for the coming year over the various programs that the agency undertakes. Therefore, program financial estimates across each year of the forward estimates are not available.
