POLICY AND PLANNING PROGRAM

103 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (31 July 2007). Why has the budgeted amount for 'employee benefits and costs' under the Policy and Planning Program increased by $2.4 million in 2007-08?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information:

The 2007-08 Budget for the Policy and Planning Program includes:

the transfer of expenditure previously allocated to Sub-program 2.1 ‘Operating and Maintaining Roads' and Sub-program 3.1 ‘Driver and Vehicle Regulations';

The reallocation of Corporate overhead charges originally budgeted to ‘supplies and services'; and

enterprise bargaining increases to salaries and wages.
