SOCIAL INCLUSION UNIT

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:06): My question is to the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion. Can the minister tell the house why there has been a $384,000 blowout in the cost of the Social Inclusion Unit this year? Last year's budget papers identified expenditure on the social inclusion subprogram of DCSI at $4.534 million in 2012-13; however the updated expense budget breakdown for the year, provided recently in an answer to a question on notice, identified that the social inclusion subprogram is now scheduled at $4.918 million for the year, an increase of $384,000.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:07): I would like to thank the member for his question. I will have to take that on notice and get an answer for him.
