For each of the financial years since 2000-01 to 2004-05 to date, can a list be provided of all administered programs in the department, including: (a) the level of funding allocated to each program; (b) the actual expenditure for each program and, if possible, by federal electorate; (c) funding in each financial year of the forward estimates for each program; and (d) the date on which each program is scheduled to end.

(a)   The level of funding allocated to each program is available in Department of Family and Community Services (FaCS) Annual Reports.

(b)   The actual expenditure for each program is available in FaCS Annual Reports. This expenditure is not recorded by federal electorate and to provide such a breakdown would require significant resources which I am not prepared to commit.

(c)   Forward estimates are available at an aggregate level in Family and Community Services Portfolio Budget Statements and for Specific Purpose Payments in Budget Paper No.3 Federal Financial Relations 2005-06.

(d)   Attachment A provides a table with the termination date for each program where there is no provision for continuation in the forward estimates, or the renegotiation date in the case of Specific Purpose Payments to the States and Territories. Note that in this context, a termination date indicates that prior to that date, the Government will consider future options.
