It was announced in the context of an election campaign. Members will be delighted to see that here is the election promise delivered; there is actually a net reduction on calls on the ACT budget.
Mr De Domenico: You did not deliver on the abortion clinic.
MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, I am looking forward to Mr De Domenico entering this debate and further congratulating me because he will see the recurrent expenditure on ACTION. While we were budgeting to spend some $51.9m on ACTION's recurrent expenditure this year, which is a reduction from $54.7m when Mr Kaine was Treasurer - it dropped to $52.8m in the first year that I was responsible for it - in fact we spent $51.56m. Apart from our expectation of reducing it from $54.7m when Mr Kaine was Treasurer to $51.9m this year - that is what I was budgeting for - through rigorous management and rigorous administration by this Labor Government we reduced it by a further $300,000. No doubt, Mr Kaine, you are saying, "Shock, horror! The Government should have thrown more money at the problem and spent more ratepayers' dollars".
Debate (on motion by Mr De Domenico) adjourned.
