1. In BP#3 for the 2002-03 financial year, the estimated cost per solicitor hour was $152, rising to $161 for the estimate in 2003-04. The figure of $152 was corrected at last estimates (p184, hansard) and it was estimated to ‘come in between $111 and $128’ according to Terry Dreier. Was the figure the $130 that appears in the estimate for 2003-04. 2. In BP#3 for the 2004-05 financial year, the estimated cost per solicitor hour for 2004-05 is revised further downwards to $125.
