PENALTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

58 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (31 July 2007). Why has the funding allocated to the Penalty Management Services been reduced in 2007-08?

The Hon. M.J. ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs): The funding allocated to the Penalty Management Services has not been reduced in 2007-08. As reported in the 2007-08 Portfolio Statements, the Expenditure Budget for the Penalty Management Services for the 2007-08 financial year is $9,940,000 which is an increase on the budget for the 2006-07 financial year, which was $9,840,000.

There has been a decrease in the net cost of providing services from 2006-07 to 2007-08 but this is a result of a budgeted increase in income.
