MR HANSON: I asked a question in question time today with regard to the efficiency dividend being applied to the DPP. The Treasurer responded that there is no efficiency dividend being applied to the DPP. The response that has been provided to me previously and to the estimates committee, to which I refer members and which I am happy to table, is the response to question on notice 166 from the Attorney-General. It says:

MR BARR: There is no government policy for an efficiency dividend.
