Future Investment

In reply to Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (28 July 2016).

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy): The Department of Treasury and Finance advises that indicative changes in private business investment for the budget year were published in state budgets up until the 2008-09 budget, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimates of historical and expected capital expenditure. This was discontinued following a decision by the ABS to stop publishing state estimates.
