First Nations Voice to Parliament

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (25 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. D.R. CREGAN (Kavel—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Special Minister of State): I have been advised:

The initial First Nations Voice election (Voice election) was originally included in the 2023-24 projection (2023-24 Agency Statements, Budget Paper 4, Volume 2, page 17) under sub-program 1.1, which relates to Parliamentary Electoral Services.

It has since been correctly reflected in sub-program 1.2–Non-Parliamentary Electoral Services (2024-25 Agency Statements, Budget Paper 4, Volume 2, page 19), as the Voice election is classified as a non-parliamentary election prescribed by acts of parliament.
