QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the total income from the State Government in the 2012-2013 Budget Statements. I refer also to the 2012-13 Budget Factsheet which promises additional $96 million expenditure for the Department of Training and Workforce Development to 'ensure that training delivery continues to meet the needs of the Western Australian economy', and I ask —
(1) Where can the additional $96 million be seen in the 2012-13 Budget Statements?
(2) Why is the overall 2012-13 State Government funding lower than the 2011-12 allocation despite this additional funding?

(1) The amount of $96m can be identified on page 600 of Budget Paper No. 2 - Part 2.
(2) The reduction in Total Income from State Government from the 2011-12 Budget to the 2012-13 Budget Estimate on page 607 of the 2012-13 Budget Papers is mainly attributable to one off Royalties for Regions funding for the skills training initiatives, the efficiency dividend and other minor adjustments offset in part by additional funding for the remedial works 2012-13 program, district allowance payments, sustainable funding and contracting with the not-for-profit sector and other minor adjustments.
