South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service

106 Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (12 September 2023). In reference to Budget Paper 4, Volume 2, page 51—What is the reason for the discrepancy between the $158 million that was budgeted for the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service in 2022-23 and the $172 million estimated result for the year?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised:

The increase in expenses in the 2022-23 estimated result compared to the 2022-23 budget is predominately due to the outcomes of the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service Enterprise Agreement 2022.
