QuestionView source ↗
I refer to table 8.1 in 2012–13 Budget Paper no. 3, which sets out
Estimated Impact on the Standard ''Representative'' Household
and, in particular, to the note that the actual impact of the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) on household charges is to be confirmed by the Fire and Emergency Services Authority in June 2012, after property valuation data is finalised, and I ask:
(a) has the Treasurer now acquired that data;
(b) if so, what is the actual impact of ESL on a standard representative household;
(c) how is that calculated;
(d) in percentage terms, what is the actual change;
(e) in monetary terms, what is the dollar change; and
(f) in dollars, what is the 2012–2013 dollar level?
