I refer to Table 5.1 of the 2009–2010 Government Mid-Year Financial Projections Statement, titled ‘Implementation of Corrective Measures’, and note that Premier and Cabinet has savings of $1.3 million allocated in 2009–2010 for ‘Reduction In Policy Office And Government Media Office Staffing’. I ask:
(a) will these savings be met for 2009–2010;
(b) if no to (a), what is the expected savings in this area for 2009–2010;
(c) if no to (a), what are the reasons for the savings not being met; and
(d) as set out in the 2009–2010 Government Mid-Year Financial Projections Statement, will savings be found in this area in the years 2010–2011, 2011–2012 and 2012–2013?
