Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit

105 The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (25 October 2018). Can the Attorney-General advise:

1. Which sections of the Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit are the $1.3 million cuts coming from?

2. How much of the budget cuts are attributed to FTE cuts?

3. If these decisions are yet to be made, what is the process for deciding on the budget cuts and when will that decision be made?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Attorney-General has provided the following advice:

This decrease is mainly due to a carryover of funding in 2017-18 for the Business Improvement Program and new savings announced as part of, or prior to, the 2017-18 Mid-Year Budget Review.

The new savings will be achieved through both staff and other operating costs.
