I refer to page 386 Budget Paper No. 2, Volume 2, Service 1
Establishment, Operation and Maintenance of Residential Colleges Full-time Employees (FTE)
and I ask:
(1) Can the Minister provide an employee category breakdown of the 2009–2010 budget target of 116?
(2) Will the Minister outline the budget assumption behind the full cost impact of adding an FTE in this section?
(3) Will the Minister outline the budget assumption behind the full or savings impact of removing an FTE in this section?
(4) Can the Minister provide the following information:
(a) the actual headcount derived from the approved FTE complement in the section in 2008–2009;
(b) the actual headcount derived from the approved FTE complement resulting from the 2009–2010 budgets in this section; and
(c) the projected headcount derived from the approved FTE complement in this section across the forward estimates?
(5) Has the public service FTE cap announced by the Treasurer affected FTE numbers in this section?
(6) Can the Minister outline policy changes or changes in service delivery that are being adopted, and how they take account of the public service FTE cap?
(7) Which outcomes, services and performance indicators are affected by FTE constraints, and in what way?
(8) Can the Minister outline the projected impact of FTE reductions on public service equity targets within this section?
(9) What measures will be put in place to ensure that equity targets are not compromised?
(10) In offering voluntary redundancies for this section, has the Minister’s agency taken account of, or been required to take account of the financial impact to the public sector as a whole of redundancies, resignations or retirements of public servants covered by earlier defined benefit superannuation compared to those receiving market-linked superannuation?
