Enterprise Bargaining

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:36): Supplementary arising from the answer: does the Treasurer foresee that this policy encourages agencies to not finalise enterprise agreements? Will agencies in fact book the savings that they save by these agreements not being finalised, or will they return to consolidated revenue?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:37): No, I do not accept the original part of the member's question. In relation to the budgeting arrangement, they are all controlled ultimately by me as Treasurer and as Treasury.
