Quarantine Services
Unappropriated expenditure of $812,000 resulted from the collective employment contract settlement having a higher than expected fiscal impact and volume pressures at ports of entry, particularly international passenger clearance. It was not clear the appropriation would be exceeded until late June 2006, too late for an appropriation to be included in the 2005/06 Supplementary Estimates or for prior approval to be sought to incur the expenses.
The Minister of Finance has subsequently approved the unappropriated expenditure under section 26B of the Public Finance Act 1989.
The comparative information presented in the Statement of Unappropriated Expenditure has been presented on a GST inclusive basis. This comparative information has not been restated to exclude GST, as approved appropriations for 2004/05 were made on a GST inclusive basis. Any restatement of the comparative information would not reflect those approved appropriations.
