I refer to the difference between the budgeted total cost of services and the net cost of services provided by the Department of Education for 2013–2014 and ask: (a) what is the breakdown of the retained revenues used to fund this difference, including revenues retained as the result of planned expenditure and/or investments that have been either delayed or cancelled; and (b) what is the breakdown of other adjustments in the 2014–2015 budget made to reconcile appropriations that were provided to deliver services?

(a) The difference between the Department of Education's Total Cost of Services and Net Cost of Services is explained by the Department's forecast Adjusted Total Income (which is shown on page 284 of Budget Paper 2, Volume 1, 2013-14 Budget). Adjusted Total Income includes:
· user contributions, charges and fees ($103.5 million), such as voluntary contributions, and charges and fees generated by schools and retained by schools;
· Commonwealth Government grants and contributions ($583.2 million);
· other revenue, such as bookshop and canteen receipts, donations to schools, and hire of facilities ($79.2 million); and
· interest income generated by schools and retained by schools ($9.1 million).
Adjusted Total Income excludes Income from State Government, Administered Income and Extraordinary Items (income used for capital works purposes).
(b) The 2014-15 Budget is calculated the same way as the 2013-14 Budget. The difference between the Department's Total Cost of Services and Net Cost of Services is explained by the Department's forecast Adjusted Total Income.
· user contributions, charges and fees ($103.5 million), such as voluntary contributions, and charges and fees generated by schools and retained by schools;
· Commonwealth Government grants and contributions ($583.2 million);
