What are the reasons for the $43.5 million departmental under-spend in the contingency provision for Supplies and Services in 2006-07? The Hon. K.O. FOLEY House of Assembly Port Adelaide Deputy Premier Minister for Industry and Trade Minister for Federal/State Relations SUPPLIES AND SERVICES The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations): The State Budget includes contingency provisions to help manage financial risks that may or may not arise during a given financial year. The below budget outcome is primarily because some provisions, for example contingencies, will not result in expenditure because relevant new policy measures are explicitly presented in the Budget as agency expenditure.
