(a) 2005-2006; and (b) 2004-2005?
(b) 2004-2005?
(a) an 8 FTE increase associated with government funding increases during 2005-06 that impacted on the 2006-07 FTE numbers. European House Borer funding is accountable for the majority of this movement; (b) a 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services. Note, with the delay in the transition to Shared Services, the budgeted 20 FTE reduction is subject to change; and (c) an estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill. Secondly the variation of 42 FTE between the 2005-06 estimated actual and the 2006-07 budget can be explained by the net impact of: (d) a 25 FTE reduction as a result of the finalisation of one off project activities carried over from 2004-05 into 2005-06; (e) a 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services; and (f) an estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill. The variance of 50 FTEs between the 2004-05 financial year and the 2006-07 budgeted FTEs relates to the net impact of: (a) a 33 FTE reduction associated with the finalisation of one off government funding provided in 2004-05 related to such initiatives as the eradication of Cane Toads (transferred to CALM), Weed Control, Wild Dogs, Footrot, Locusts and Windidda Station; (b) the 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services; and (c) the estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill.

The comparative FTEs from 2005-06 to 2006-07 should be addressed in two parts. Firstly the variation of 9 FTE between the 2005-06 budget and the 2006-07 budget can be explained by the net impact of:
(a) an 8 FTE increase associated with government funding increases during 2005-06 that impacted on the 2006-07 FTE numbers. European House Borer funding is accountable for the majority of this movement;
(b) a 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services. Note, with the delay in the transition to Shared Services, the budgeted 20 FTE reduction is subject to change; and
(c) an estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill.
Secondly the variation of 42 FTE between the 2005-06 estimated actual and the 2006-07 budget can be explained by the net impact of:
(d) a 25 FTE reduction as a result of the finalisation of one off project activities carried over from 2004-05 into 2005-06;
(e) a 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services; and
(f) an estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill.
The variance of 50 FTEs between the 2004-05 financial year and the 2006-07 budgeted FTEs relates to the net impact of:
(a) a 33 FTE reduction associated with the finalisation of one off government funding provided in 2004-05 related to such initiatives as the eradication of Cane Toads (transferred to CALM), Weed Control, Wild Dogs, Footrot, Locusts and Windidda Station;
(b) the 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services; and
(c) the estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill.
It should also be noted that the 2006/07 budgeted FTE figure does not include the impacts of additional funding for Locusts and Starling programs provided in 2006/07, post budget.

(d) a 25 FTE reduction as a result of the finalisation of one off project activities carried over from 2004-05 into 2005-06;
(e) a 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services; and
(f) an estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill.
The variance of 50 FTEs between the 2004-05 financial year and the 2006-07 budgeted FTEs relates to the net impact of:
(a) a 33 FTE reduction associated with the finalisation of one off government funding provided in 2004-05 related to such initiatives as the eradication of Cane Toads (transferred to CALM), Weed Control, Wild Dogs, Footrot, Locusts and Windidda Station;
(b) the 20 FTE reduction associated with the apportionment of corporate support FTEs budgeted for the reduction of corporate FTEs to be transferred to the Office of Shared Services; and
(c) the estimated 3 FTE increase associated with increased funding for government initiatives in 2006/07, such as policy development in relation to the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Bill.
It should also be noted that the 2006/07 budgeted FTE figure does not include the impacts of additional funding for Locusts and Starling programs provided in 2006/07, post budget.
