Engagement on Matters Relating to Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Ber Grogan:
It has been difficult to try to find exact costings for everything. Within what we are talking about, it is a small team working on the pre-budget submission, so that is why we have put amounts on it rather than made overall costings. We are still finalising our overall main pre-budget submission, so some of them have overall costings for the measures and some do not. We just do not have the capacity or knowledge in that regard. We do not want to be annoying all the members and asking them to submit parliamentary questions all the time in order to get the information. The Parliamentary Budget Office or some other entity might have the resources. I know some things are available, but something like that would help inform our pre-budget submissions.
