PUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITY —
APPROPRIATION — REDUCTION
280. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I refer to pages 162 and 165 of the Economic and Fiscal Outlook , which show a change in the funding
model, including a $170 million reduction in the appropriation to the Public
Transport Authority in the 2012–13 financial year.
(1) Can the Treasurer explain what impact this has on the
2013 operating balance?
(2) What impact does this accounting
treatment have on total public sector net debt?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for notice of the question. I
advise that the Treasurer has been engaged for much of the afternoon in a
debate in some other place. However, if an answer to this question does come
before the end of question time, I will table it for the member's
information.
