The Commission has complied with the requirements of Cabinet to implement the decision for an Agency Expenditure Review process by the Government, as disclosed in the Government’s 2015-16 Mid-Year Review on 21 December 2015. The Government’s decisions flowing from that process are part of the confidential deliberative processes of Cabinet and, subject to finalisation of these processes, will be published in the 2016-17 Budget Papers.
