(3) This information will need to be sourced from the relevant agencies through the Minister responsible.[See tabled paper number ] provides the requested detail for DTF (for both its controlled and administered operations). It should be noted that in most cases, funds received from the Commonwealth are credited directly to the Consolidated Account or a Treasurer's Special Purpose Account from which spending on a range of initiatives may be made. This spending can include funding from a range of sources and it is not always possible to differentiate between each dollar spent and the funding of that dollar. For example, the State received $3.5 billion in GST grants for general purposes in 2008?09 ? these funds were combined with other State revenue (e.g. tax collections, royalties, etc.) to fund appropriations from the Consolidated Account. In the case of tied grants (i.e. Commonwealth Specific Purpose Payments and National Partnership Payments), the timing of release of funds may not always match the receipt of funds from the Commonwealth. For example, grants may be given to a third party when the recipient demonstrates a payment is due, while the Commonwealth may provide funds in advance for this purpose. In other cases, Commonwealth grants can sometimes be received in arrears of the associated spending by the State (e.g. the First Home Owners Boost initiative).
