I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The funding shortfall represents a repositioning of funding for the affected programs as detailed below. The answer to parts (2) to (4) is quite lengthy and sometimes tabular, so I table the answer and seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 2737.] The following material was incorporated - (2) The following programs have had their cash flows repositioned: Program Funds Repositioned $’000 2007/08 $’000 2008/09 $’000 2010/11 $’000 Innovate WA 6,965 6,965 Science Initiatives 16,000 16,000 Centres of Excellence 5,318 2,058 2,510 750 Radio Astronomy 4,010 4,010 Entrepreneurs in Residence 75 75 The total of $32.368m repositioned varies from the $31.126m shown in the budget papers as a consequence of cash adjustments. (See note b for Service 5 page 236 of the Budget Papers) For the Centres of Excellence and Innovate WA funding, there has been a repositioning due to some delay in approvals for projects to proceed and operating projects being delayed, often by recruitment difficulties in the current market, which in turn delayed milestone payments of grant moneys. The Radio Astronomy $4 million has been moved into next financial year because planned infrastructure acquisitions were not able to proceed as yet. There have been approvals of nearly $18 million from the science initiative funding. However $16 million has been repositioned as those approvals could not be translated into payable grants until out years. The Entrepreneurs in Residence repositioning is a consequence of the reporting requirement not aligning with the financial year and delaying payment. In all cases no funding for theses programs has been cut. (3-4) See answer to part (2).

(1) The funding shortfall represents a repositioning of funding for the affected programs as detailed below. The answer to parts (2) to (4) is quite lengthy and sometimes tabular, so I table the answer and seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 2737.] The following material was incorporated - (2) The following programs have had their cash flows repositioned: Program Funds Repositioned $’000 2007/08 $’000 2008/09 $’000 2010/11 $’000 Innovate WA 6,965 6,965 Science Initiatives 16,000 16,000 Centres of Excellence 5,318 2,058 2,510 750 Radio Astronomy 4,010 4,010 Entrepreneurs in Residence 75 75 The total of $32.368m repositioned varies from the $31.126m shown in the budget papers as a consequence of cash adjustments. (See note b for Service 5 page 236 of the Budget Papers) For the Centres of Excellence and Innovate WA funding, there has been a repositioning due to some delay in approvals for projects to proceed and operating projects being delayed, often by recruitment difficulties in the current market, which in turn delayed milestone payments of grant moneys. The Radio Astronomy $4 million has been moved into next financial year because planned infrastructure acquisitions were not able to proceed as yet. There have been approvals of nearly $18 million from the science initiative funding. However $16 million has been repositioned as those approvals could not be translated into payable grants until out years. The Entrepreneurs in Residence repositioning is a consequence of the reporting requirement not aligning with the financial year and delaying payment. In all cases no funding for theses programs has been cut. (3-4) See answer to part (2).
