My understanding is that the Estimates that come out of the budget in October normally come back to the House early in the following calendar year. I would anticipate this happening again. In the past they have been taken through committee at more length than is happening this year. In my previous life as Minister for Transport, I spent many hours in committee dealing with the Estimates for that Department but, for various reasons, that is not happening now.
