State Budget

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (3 August 2016). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. The 2015-16 actual expenditure information at the program level is available in the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion's annual financial statements that are included in the recently released Report of the Auditor-General for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Appendix to the Annual Report Volume 1, pages 375-377). The program information is based on the program structure in the 2015-16 State Budget Papers. The program structure for the 2016-17 State Budget Agency Statements has changed from the previous year.

Provided there is no change in the program structure, 2015-16 actual expenditure in the current program structure will be available in the 2017-18 Budget Papers.
