I refer to the 2010–2011 State Budget re-cashflow of the 2009–2010 3% Efficiency Dividend Shortfall, and ask:
(a) do the 3% Efficiency Dividend targets, as listed in the Forward Estimates of the 2009–2010 State Budget, still have to be met; and
(i) if so, are the re-cashflowed entries added to those targets;
(b) what are the 3% efficiency target amounts for 2010–2011, 2011–2012 and 2012–2013;
(c) if those targets are to be met, what specific areas will be cut; and
(d) if a decision has not yet been made on what specific areas to cut, what specific areas are under consideration for cuts to meet the 3% efficiency dividend targets?
