Budget Estimates 2009-2010

What are Budget Estimates?

The Legislative Council’s five General Purpose Standing Committees (GPSCs) may inquire into and report on any matters referred to them by the House; the expenditure, performance or effectiveness of any department of government, statutory body or corporation; any matter in any annual report of a department of government, statutory body or corporation.

Since 1995, the Budget Estimates and related papers have been referred to the GPSCs under paragraph 2(1) of the resolution establishing the committees for inquiry and report. During the hearings committee members question Ministers and CEOs of government agencies in order to scrutinize government expenditure and resource allocation. Government Ministers appear according to a schedule determined by the Legislative Council.

Information on previous Budget Estimates inquiries is available from within the records of GPSCs 1 to 5. Click on the revelant GPSC link below.
