Question Without Notice No. 71 asked in the Legislative Council on 15 March 2018 by Hon Donna Faragher
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION — BUDGET 71. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:
I refer to the government's remaining education budget cuts that have not been reversed and that are estimated to provide a total savings of approximately $41 million. Will the minister undertake to provide the house on Tuesday, 20 March 2018 with —
(a) a full list of all programs and/or services that remain affected by the government's announcement; and
(b) the nature of each savings measure and the expected savings to be achieved; and, if not, why not?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I might check Hansard, but if some matters are currently under consideration as part of the budget process, I will not be able to do that.
Hon Donna Faragher: I am talking about the remaining cuts that you have identified as $41 million.
Hon SUE ELLERY: The member should listen to what I am saying. If some of those are under consideration as part of the budget process, I may not be able to give the member the answer she seeks, but I will read Hansard to see what she has just asked. If I am able to, I will do that on Tuesday.
