AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Education, I provide the following response — In 2005-06, $86.099 million; in 2006-07, $76.208 million; in 2007-08, $88.64 million, and in 2008-09, $74.9 million. That was the year-to-date actual to 28 February 2009. These amounts have largely been expended on unplanned maintenance such as breakdowns and compliance requirements.
