I refer to the 2024-25 Budget Paper No 2 Volume 1, page 179, Note 5, and the RiskCover Fund forecasts for 2024-25, and I ask: (a) what was the loss to RiskCover Fund in 2023-24 in $ million; (b) please list the current amounts levied, by department, for premiums for 2024-25; (c) are increases in premiums levied in 2024-25 expected to remain fixed per annum, or are they a one-off increase to cover costs-related claims for 2023-24; and (d) with the increase in premiums in 2024-25, and the estimated/anticipated claims, what is the solvency ratio likely to rebound to by the end of year 2024-25?
