Budget—consolidated financial report

MR SMYTH: My question is to the Treasurer. Treasurer, in the March quarter consolidated financial report released yesterday, what does “transactions involving owners affecting accumulated funds” take into consideration?

MR BARR: I will need to take that on notice. If the shadow treasurer could provide me with a page reference, that would be—

Mr Smyth: Page 25.

MR BARR: Page 25. I will take that on notice.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Smyth.

MR SMYTH: Treasurer, what does the “dividends approved” element take into account?

MR BARR: I will take that on notice as well.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Doszpot.

MR DOSZPOT: Treasurer, what is the reason for the variance of minus 88 per cent for dividends approved?

MR BARR: I will take that on notice as well, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Doszpot.

MR DOSZPOT: Treasurer, what is the reason for the revised estimate from minus $180 million to minus $157 million?

MR BARR: I presume that follows on exactly the same page of the statement?

Mr Doszpot: Yes.

MR BARR: I will take that on notice.

Federal government—budget

DR BOURKE: My question is to the Chief Minister. Chief Minister, the federal budget was handed down last night. What impact will this budget have on the ACT economy, jobs and services?

MS GALLAGHER: I thank Dr Bourke for the question. I think it is important that the Assembly discusses the federal budget that was handed down last night. The commonwealth budget involves substantial changes to the public sector, with the downsizing, closure or merger of many public service departments and agencies.
