Question Without Notice No. 478 asked in the Legislative Council on 20 May 2020 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

STATE FINANCES — DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY

478. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Treasurer:

I refer to the state's finances and the decision to delay the budget to October 2020.

(1) Does the Treasurer receive regular updates from Treasury regarding the state's revenue and expenditure estimates?

(2) If yes to (1), on what date did the Treasurer receive the last update from Treasury?

(3) Based on the most recent advice from WA Treasury, what is the current forecast surplus for 2019–20?

(4) What is the forecast iron ore royalties for 2019–20?

(5) What is the forecast payroll tax for 2019–20?

(6) What is the forecast transfer duty revenue for 2019–20?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following has been provided to me by the Treasurer.

(1)–(6) Treasury provides regular updates to the Expenditure Review Committee on the state's economy and finances. These updates are used to inform the ERC's decision-making and are cabinet-in-confidence. However, by the end of this month, the Treasurer will be tabling in Parliament the March Quarterly Financial Results Report.
