User Guide to the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS), is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the Portfolio. However, unlike the PBS, the PAES summarise only the changes in resourcing by outcome since the Budget. The PAES include new measures, summarise the changes by Appropriation Bill, and, where relevant, by Special Appropriation and Special Account. The 2007-08 PAES also cover any significant changes to the Portfolio which have arisen from the change in government and the subsequent Administrative Arrangements Order of 3 December 2007.
The PAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (Nos. 3 and 4) 2007-08. In this sense, the PAES are declared by the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills to be a 'relevant document' to the interpretation of the Bills according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
Whereas the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2007-08 is a mid-year budget report which provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government's fiscal performance against its fiscal strategy, the PAES update the most recent budget appropriations for agencies within the Portfolio.
STRUCTURE OF THE PORTFOLIO ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES STATEMENTS
The PAES are presented in three parts with subsections.
