Hon Kim Chance asked the Treasurer, via a parliamentary secretary, for a breakdown of budgeted recurrent and capital expenditure for various WA regions in the 2008-09 budget. The answer indicates that recurrent expenditure is not classified by region, and while capital expenditure is budgeted by region, actual expenditure isn't recorded that way, and the information is not readily available.

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. From a recurrent perspective, the government does not classify expenditure by individual region or between regional Western Australia and metropolitan Western Australia. As a result, this information is not available. Please note that although budgeted capital expenditure is recorded by region, actual expenditure is not recorded on this basis. However, providing the information in the time provided is not possible given the technical nature of the question. It is therefore requested that the member place the question on notice.
