I refer to page 33 of the 2018-19 Mid Year Review and I ask, if the State Government signs the current bilateral agreement on the National Partnership on the Skilling of Australians, what is the expected impact on net debt and net operating balance relative to the 2018-19 Mid Year Review for each of the following years: (a) 2018-19; (b) 2019-20; (c) 2020-21; and (d) 2021-22?

(a-d) There is no expected overall impact on net debt and net operating balance from the State Government signing the bilateral agreement on the National Partnership on the Skilling Australians Fund. Due to timing differences between the receipt of Commonwealth funding and State expenditure on training, there may be year-on-year changes to net debt and net operating balance over the forward estimates period.
