Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The ACT Government prepares its budget on an output basis. Data at that level is published in the Budget Papers, along with budgeted financial statements for agencies. More detailed information on activities within outputs is available in annual reports. This includes audited financial statements. Data is not available in the form and at the level requested without diversion of significant resources from ACT Planning and Land Authority’s ongoing business that I am not prepared to authorise.
