will address traffic congestion currently experienced at key intersections during peak periods.
The supplementary budget papers provide detail of the impact of the additional appropriation provided for wage increases, with the new projects to be managed within underspent capital in 2011-12. The papers also provide detail of other amendments to agency budgets under the FMA. These amendments relate largely to capital reprofiling and signed instruments under the FMA to amend appropriations.
Given the timing of the 2011-12 budget review, the revised financial statements presented today may, where relevant, include signed instruments under the Financial Management Act 1996, the impact of capital works reprofiling, the flow-on effect of the audit of the 2010-11 financial statements or revised estimated outcome forecasts. These revisions are in addition to the impact of the Appropriation Bill 2011-2012 (No 2).
This bill is necessary to ensure the transparency of government decision making in relation to the allocation of financial resources and to fulfil the government’s policy objectives in a timely fashion. I commend the Appropriation Bill 2011-12 (No 2) to the Assembly.
Debate (on motion by Mr Smyth) adjourned to the next sitting.
