Ms CARNEY - 2007-08-21
Yesterday, you announced a package of $286m. Can you answer the following questions in relation to that announcement: how much of the $286m is new money? How much of that $286m has already been announced? How much of the $286m are funds that were already allocated in the May budget before you received your report into child sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities? Can you advise whether the 10 additional Corrections Officers you announced yesterday are new officers or are they coming from the pool of 15 announced by the Attorney-General a few months ago?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, $286.43m over five years; all of those dollars are newly allocated. What they do is build on the work we have done so far in so many key areas. These dollars are all new commitments, and we believe they will contribute significantly in five years towards closing the gap that our target is for 2030.
Ms Carney: And Corrections Officers?
Ms MARTIN: It is all here.
