Senator FAULKNER —As I recall, there was a staffing increase of six for the Committee Office. What was the rationale for the staffing allocation increase, particularly in relation to the Committee Office? It is on page 99 of the PBS.
Mr Evans —That shows an increase in the estimated staff years for that office.
Senator FAULKNER —Yes, that is right.
Mr Evans —Is there an explanation for that? I will ask Mr Nankervis to respond to that.
Mr Nankervis —The increase in estimated staff years for the Committee Office is directly a provision for select committees that may be appointed and would need to be staffed during the next financial year.
Senator FAULKNER —That is why. Again, I was asking whether it was in effect a contingency for the possible establishment of select committees. Thank you for that.
CHAIR —Are there any other questions on that program? If not, we will move on to Program 5—Corporate Management.
