Director of Public Prosecutions

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (29 June 2023). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised:

The decrease of 14.6 FTEs from the 2022-23 estimated result to the 2023-24 budget is mainly due to once-off time-limited funding provided in 2022-23 associated with complex criminal cases. This accounts for a decrease of 22.4 FTEs. It is expected that any additional funding required for 2023-24 will be considered as part of the 2023-24 Mid-Year Budget Review.

This decrease is partly offset by an increase of 7.0 FTEs associated with funding provided in 2023-24 for the prosecution of matters relating to Operation Ironside.
