House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Estimates Replies Fishing Industry Fishing Industry In reply to Mr ELLIS House of Assembly Narungga Fishing Industry In reply to Mr ELLIS (Narungga) (25 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B) The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN House of Assembly The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I have been advised: The statement of cashflows represents inflows and outflows across PIRSA's administered funds on a cash basis, rather than the value of revenue and expenses realised across the financial year. The reduced cash inflows in 2022-23 ($5.0million) mainly reflect the fee relief provided to the rock lobster sector in 2022-23 ($2.6million) and fees to the sardine sector in 2023-24 ($0.7million), with the balance ($1.7million) reflecting the timing of cash receipts in relation to all fees across the industry which may have been as a result of the prepayment of 2022-23 fees in the 2021-22 financial year or the fees owing at the end of the 2022-23 financial year that will ultimately be recognised as cash in 2023-24. The statement of comprehensive income on page 67, specifically the fees, fines and penalties line item is a more accurate representation of fees charged across the years, with the variation between 2022-23 actual and 2023-24 budget being due mainly to the rock lobster and sardine measures mentioned above.
