The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion Minister for Social Housing Minister for Disabilities Minister for Youth Minister for Volunteers DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURE The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised: In relation to the South Australian Housing Trust (SAHT), recurrent expenditure in 2009-10 amounted to $706.3 million, and was underspent by $40.2 million, compared to the revised budget of $746.5 million. Capital expenditure in 2009-10 amounted to $311.4 million, and was underspent by $81.1 million, compared to the revised budget of $392.5 million. SAHT is a Public Non-Financial Corporation and is not within the general Government sector. HomeStart Finance is a Public Financial Corporation. It does not have an expenditure budget allocated through the State Budget per se and therefore the question of over or under expenditure is not applicable. It is recommended that the member be referred to HomeStart Finance's published annual report.
