SAFETY AND EMPLOYMENT PROTECTION —
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS — STATE BUDGET 2013–14
758. Hon KATE DOUST to the
Minister for Commerce:
I refer to the safety and employment protection and
construction standards on page 644 of the 2013–14 budget. Could the
minister please explain why there is such a vast discrepancy between the
budgeted FTEs to the estimated actual FTEs for the year 2012–13?

AnswerView source ↗

I answer on behalf of Hon
Michael Mischin. I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
The variance is associated with the FTE ceiling component of
the corrective measures implemented by government, finite project-funded
positions and vacant positions unable to be filled due to the inability to
attract suitably qualified personnel.
