The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Environment and Conservation Minister for Early Childhood Development Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management DOG FENCE BOARD The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management): I am advised that: 1.	The Dog Fence Board expenditure for the 2007-08 financial year is $805,000 (unaudited at this time). This level of expenditure compares with the actual expenditure of $935,000 as reflected for the 2006-07 financial year, shown on page 11.70 of Budget Paper 4, Volume 3. The expenditure budget shown for the Dog Fence Board for 2008-09, as per page 11.70, reflects employee expenses of $150,000 and grants and subsidies of $397,000, a total of $543,000. This expenditure reflects only part of the expenditure budgeted in relation to the Dog Fence Board for 2008-09, as adjusting journals relating to revenues collected were not processed in time for the publication of the 2008-09 budget. Allowing for these outstanding items, the total expenditure budget is estimated at $880,000. The omission of information in respect of the 2007-08 financial year reflects ongoing changes in accounting policies and a review of the overall Administered Items budget for the Department.
