MR BARR: I present to the Assembly the March quarter 2018 consolidated financial report for the territory. This report is required under section 26 of the Financial Management Act 1996. The March quarter headline net operating balance for the general government sector was a deficit of $106.5 million. This result was $75.6 million lower than the budgeted deficit of $182.1 million. This improvement mainly reflects lower expenses as a result of timing of payments for initiatives.

Net debt of the general government sector as at 31 March 2018 was $1,478.8 million, in line with the 30 June 2017 result of $1,452.9 million. Net financial liabilities decreased by $2,532.5 million compared to 30 June 2017, largely reflecting a change in the defined benefit superannuation liability estimate for 31 March 2018, which is based on a discount rate of six per cent, compared to 3.51 per cent at 30 June 2017. I commend the March quarterly report to the Assembly.
