Sales, Goods and Services

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

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): I have been advised:

1. Income for the sale of goods and services predominantly relates to corporate income from the hire of facilities. These corporate overheads have been allocated across the agency according to program expenditure. Variations in overhead allocations between financial years occur due to movements in the overall expenditure for programs, for example a program that has a reduction in expenditure between years will receive a lower allocation of overheads and vice versa.

2. Actuals results for the 2015-16 financial year will be available in the 2016-17 Agency Statement.
