Consideration of 2020/2021 portfolio budget estimates
The estimates process aids the Parliament in its scrutiny of the Government’s proposed expenditure. Since 1994, committees of the Parliament have undertaken the estimates process, by examining and reporting on the proposed expenditures contained in the Appropriation Bill and the Appropriation (Parliament) Bill.
In 2020, the examination of the Appropriation Bill and the Appropriation (Parliament) Bill was undertaken by the Parliament's seven portfolio committees.
During the estimates process each portfolio committee held a public hearing (on a day between 7 December and 15 December 2020), at which the Speaker and Ministers (and certain senior public servants and officers) were questioned regarding the proposed expenditures for the relevant portfolio areas. Other Members of the Legislative Assembly who are not members of the committee were also able to ask questions, with the leave of the committee.
At its public hearing on Monday 7 December 2020, the Economics and Governance Committee questioned the Speaker regarding the proposed expenditure for the Legislative Assembly, and the Premier and Minister for Trade, the Treasurer and Minister for Investment, and the Minister for Tourism Industry Development and Innovation and Minister for Sport, regarding the proposed expenditures for their portfolio areas.
Following the committee’s hearing, the committee members met, discussed the information gathered, and compiled final reports, which were tabled on 12 February 2021. The reports will be debated in the Legislative Assembly as part of the Parliament’s consideration of the Appropriation Bills.
Hearing - 7 December 2020
