I refer to Budget Paper No. 2, Volume 2 at page 431, "Appropriations, Expenses and Cash Assets", line item Total Appropriations Provided to Deliver Services, and ask given the total increase in appropriations to deliver services is just 0.86 per cent, well below inflation, how will current service levels be maintained in the coming year?

Although the overall increase in appropriation is not a large increase, efficiencies have been achieved, and will be achieved, in order that front-line services are not affected.
