DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURE

43 The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (30 June 2010) (First Session). What was the actual level for 2009-10 of both capital and recurrent expenditure underspending (or overspending) for all departments and agencies (which were not classified in the general Government sector) then reporting to the Minister for Families and Communities?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised:

In relation to the South Australian Housing Trust (SAHT), recurrent expenditure in 2009-10 amounted to $706.3 million, and was underspent by $40.2 million, compared to the revised budget of $746.5 million.

Capital expenditure in 2009-10 amounted to $311.4 million, and was underspent by $81.1 million, compared to the revised budget of $392.5 million.

SAHT is a Public Non-Financial Corporation and is not within the general Government sector.

HomeStart Finance is a Public Financial Corporation. It does not have an expenditure budget allocated through the State Budget per se and therefore the question of over or under expenditure is not applicable. It is recommended that the member be referred to HomeStart Finance's published annual report.
