(2) The Government is not currently in negotiations with any other jurisdictions regarding CTP reforms. Negotiations with other jurisdictions are not necessary as each CTP scheme is stand alone in its jurisdiction.
It is normal practice to keep a watching brief on all jurisdictional reviews of CTP schemes. The Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate regularly participates in
inter-jurisdictional consultation on schemes and proposals for change in all Australian jurisdictions and New Zealand.
(3) The Government will continue to pursue CTP reform as priority this term.
