I refer to the list of major achievements for 2005-06 as detailed on page 96 of the Budget documents under the Department of Premier and Cabinet and ask -
(1) Why is the reference to the Department contributing to the Australian Council of Governments’ action plan on the issues of social cohesion and harmony in Australia listed as a major achievement for 2005-06 when it was not listed as an initiative in the previous Budget?
(2) What form did the ‘contribution’ take?
