Commonwealth Indigenousâspecific expenditure 1968-2010

Executive summary
This paper attempts to identify Commonwealth expenditure in the area of Indigenous affairs over the 42 years from 1968 to 2010 and to plot that expenditure by agency.
The paper analyses trends in both the nominal and real expenditure, in the expenditure as a percentage of total Commonwealth outlays and Gross Domestic Pr oduct (GDP), and in the perâcapita expenditure. In nominal and real terms, identifiable Commonwealth Indigenousâspecific expenditure has trended up, but dipped in the last 2 years. As a percentage of total outlays or Gross Domestic Product it started to plateau about 10 years ago. The per capita trend is found to be too problemati c to characterise simply.
Introduction
This paper updates one authored by John GardinerâGarden and Malcolm Park and published as an online Parliamentary Library Research Paper in September 2008.
It presents graphs, tables and commentary on the subject of identifiable Commonwealth expenditure in the area of Indigenous Affairs. This means expenditure in any portfolio through programs or program co mponents specifically intended to address Indigenous issues or needs—that is, Indigenousâspecific expenditure. For the sake of brevity this is sometimes referred to in this paper as identifiable Indigenous expenditure.
In the pdf version of this paper, the tables referred to are appended at the end of the document.
In the ht
ml version of this paper, links to tables will open the relevant table in an Excel spreadsheet. All of the tables and charts referred to are in this one spreadsheet and they can be accessed via the tabs along the bottom of the screen in Excel. There is no need, therefore, to return to th is page to access another table.
Historical overview
Identifiable Commonwealth expenditure in the area of Indigenous affairs began with the establishment of the Office of Aboriginal Affairs soon after the landmark referendum in 1967.1 The expenditure was relatively low in the first few years but increased significantly with the creation of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs soon after the Whitlam Government came to office in December 1972, and continued to grow through the 1980s.
In 1990 the Department of Aboriginal Affairs was replaced by the A boriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) and, except for a slight dip in 1993-94, identifiable Indigenous

expenditure continued to rise throughout the 1990s. ATSIC expenditure as a proportion of total Indigenous expenditure started, however, to fall in the mid-1990s. This was a result of areas such as health and land acquisition being shifted out of ATSIC and some areas that remained within ATSIC receiving a funding cut foll owing the 1996 Budget.
Although overall expenditure continued to rise from the late 1990s onward, it is difficult to compare earlier figures with those from later years because in 1998 there was a move from cash to accrual accounting and from 2000-01 the annual Ministerial Budgetâtime statements on Identifiable Commonwealth Exp enditure on Indigenous Affairs used different categories for representing expenditure. Tracking expenditure becomes even more complicated from 2002, as the successive administrative rearrangements associated with the gradual demise of ATSIC led to the staged transfer of its funding and responsibilities through, and to, a range of other agencies.
In 2005-06 the Common wealth introduced the reporting in the Portfolio Budget Statements of Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure figures and it is these that are used in this paper to plot expenditure over the years that followed.
In 2007, the last year of the Howard Government, commitments made under the Northern Territory Emergency Response (t he NTER or ‘the Intervention’) increased Commonwealth Indigenous expenditure, especially that directed to the Northern Territory. Though many of the NTER measures were controversial, the Howard Government’s overall legislative package and budget commitment received biâpartisan support.
The Rudd government changed the policy rhetoric to ‘closing the gap’, ‘Indigenous Reform ag enda’ and ‘National Partnerships’, set their benchmarks, goals and funding commitments inside a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) framework, and amended some procedures and legislation so that Commonwealth actions could withstand the reinstatement of all the provisions of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. Though the rhetorical, administrative and legal context was very diff erent from that surrounding the Howard Government budgets, the Rudd Government’s budgets of 2008, 2009 and 2010 generally supported the Interventionâinitiated budget emphasis on funding programs intended to address perceived needs of remote communities. There has, however, been some public debate over the financial efficacy of the Government’s Strateg ic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program, the income management arrangements (its extension receiving biâpartisan support) and the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) reform.
It needs to be noted that in recent years definitions of various Portfolio Budget Statement (PBS) outcomes can change without it being noted in the PBS and th us without it being noted in the detail expenditure tables that follow (see appendix), so care needs to be taken if wanting to compare across years individual intraâagency outcomes.

The trend in expenditure
Converting nominal expenditure to real terms2 shows a rising trend over the period, which means that increases in expenditure have been more than increases in inflation (see Table 1 and Chart 1). In real terms, identifiable Commonwealth expenditure in the area of Indigenous affairs saw a dramatic rise and fall in the early to mid 1970s—falling from $ 947 million in 1975-76 to $596 million in 1978- 79—and it did not then pass the 1975-76 level until 1983-84 ($960 million). The mid 1980s to 2008 onwards saw an almost uninterrupted rise in real expenditure, apart from small and quickly recovered declines in the mid 1990s and 2005-06. From 2008 to 2 010 both real and nominal expenditure have fallen.
The trend can look a little different when this expenditure is plotted against total government expenditure and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as shown in Chart 2.
When expressed as a percentage of total Commonwealth expenditure, identifiable Indigenous expenditure shows the same sharp increase and fall in the mid 1970s, followed by almost co ntinuous growth to 1992-93 (see Table 1 and Chart 2). The mid to late 1990s saw fluctuations with the percentage rising and falling year to year but still trending upwards. From 2000-2001 onwards, however, the percentage of total Commonwealth expenditure allocated to Indigenous affairs has trended down. This appears more pron ounced in the years 2008-09 and 2009-10 as stimulus
2. The nominal expenditure (what is spent each year) adjusted to remove the effect of inflation and expressed in 2007- 08 dollars using the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) for NonâFarm GDP. Essentially these figures are the expenditure of previous years expressed in current dollars, enabling a more useful comparison over time.

expenditure associated with the Government’s response to the global financial crisis (GFC), increased overall expenditure without adding to Indigenousâspecific expenditure.
When plotted as a percentage of GDP, Commonwealth Indigenousâspecific expenditure shows a pattern broadly similar to when it is plotted as a percentage of total Commonwealth expenditure. Growth is fair ly constant up until the early 1990s with a very clear stabilisation at around one third of one percentage point over the next decade, and then a slight fall in the last two years. Therefore, relative to growth in the economy as a whole, as measured by GDP, there has been no incr ease in Indigenousâspecific expenditure since the early 1990s and in fact there has been decline in the last two years (see Table 1 and Chart 2).
Some commentators have also considered identifiable Indigenous expenditure in the light of the total government revenue. They have drawn attention to the fact that the plateauing of Indigenous expenditure relative to total expenditure and GDP from the late 1990s up to the GFC of 2008, happened in a period when the federal governmen t had been generally presenting surplus budgets, so could theoretically (leaving all fiscal considerations and competing needs aside) have increased Indigenous expenditure.3 In the years 2008-09 and 2009-10, however, Commonwealth revenues declined as a result of the GFC and deficit budgets were recorded.
3. For example, Chris Graham in the National Indigenous Times, 29 May, 2008, pp. 15-16 calculated that Indigenous expenditure as a percentage of total revenue had been generally lower in Howard Government budgets than it had been in the Keating Government, and argued that ‘… it’s one thing to measure the amount of mo ney allocated to
Indigenous affairs. It’s another thing altogether to measure the amount of money available to be allocated to Indigenous affairs.’

Per capita expenditure
Five-yearly census data covers the whole of the period of Aboriginal affairs expenditure. Census counts, however, are not considered a reliable indicator of the true size of the Indigenous population over this period. The data show periods of low and high population growth which cannot be accounted for by births and deaths only and which may be du e in part to variations in the propensity to identify as Indigenous. As such, the per capita expenditure figures which are derived from these data and presented in Table 1 and Chart 3 should be used with caution. In particular it is strongly advised that these figures not be used for an analysis of tren ds over the period.
Further complicating the task of estimating per capita expenditure is the fact that much of Indigenousâspecific expenditure has not been simply ‘on top of’ that which Indigenous Australians might benefit from by being Australians. A large proportion of it has substituted for expenditure that would normally be provided via mainstream assistance programs (for exampl e, Community Development Employment Projects for Newstart, Community Housing for housing under the CommonwealthâState Housing agreement, Aboriginal Legal Aid for general legal aid, Aboriginal Medical Services for Medicare supported services). A further amount has been for services which are generally the responsibility of other levels of governm ent (for example, state or local). At the same time, Indigenous Australians have often utilised mainstream services and benefits at a lower rate than other Australians (for example, Pharmaceutical Benefits and Aged Care). 4

To produce meaningful per capita expenditure figures, detailed considerationâfilled studies of singleâ portfolio areas need to be conducted. An example of such a study is that cited in footnote 4.

Compilations of Com monwealth Indigenousâspecific expenditure data
Expenditure data for the late 1960s to the late 1980s can be found in Appendix 15 of the Aboriginal Affairs Department, 1988-89 Annual Report, and in JC Altman and W Sanders, From exclusion to dependence: Aborigines and the welfare state in Australia, Discussion Paper No. 1/1991, Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Resear ch, Australian National University, Canberra.
In 1991 and 1992 expenditure tables were included in the Budget Related Paper No.7, Social Justice For Indigenous Australians, circulated by the then Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Robert Tickner.
From 1993 and 1995 expenditure tables were included in an annual, but no longer officially Budget Relat ed, Social Justice For Indigenous Australians, circulated by the then Minister Robert Tickner.
There was no equivalent compilation released in 1996 or 1997, but in 1998, the then Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Senator Herron released Commonwealth Programs For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples 1995-1996, and Addr essing Priorities in Indigenous Affairs an expenditure compilation that also included actual expenditures for 1995-96 and 96-97 and estimates for 97-98 and 98-99.

From 1999 to 2002 the Government released at budget time expenditure compilations in the form of a series of Ministerial statements:
A Better Future for Indigenous Australians, Statement by Senator the Honourable John Herron, Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, 11 May 1999.
The Future Together, IndigenousâSpecific Measures in th e 2000-01 Budget, Statement by Senator the Honourable John Herron, Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, 9 May 2000.

In 2003 the then Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Amanda Vanstone, simply included Indigenousâspecific expenditure in a Budget time press release ki t. Her 2003 release only included overall expenditure, but the 2004 and 2005 expenditure included more of the detail of the kind that had been in earlier Ministerial statements.
From 2006 there has been no single crossâportfolio compilation of Indigenousâspecific Commonwealth expenditures. Instead portfolio specific summaries of ‘Australian Government Indige
nous Expenditure’ (AGIE) have been included in nearly all the annual Portfolio Budget Statements.

(c) The Census counts of Indigenous persons are not considered a reliable indicator of the true size of the Indigenous population over this period of time. The Census counts show periods of unexplained low and high gr
owth (which cannot be accounted for by births and deaths). The ABS has produced estimates and projections of the Indigenous population, but the latest of these only covers the period 1991 â 2006 (these are used in Table 2). The Census counts, however, are the only Indigenous population data tha
t cover the whole period. It should also be noted that the total Indigenous population as counted in the Census does not
necessarily equate with the population intended to be the beneficiaries of Indigenous expenditure. (d) IPD and GDP estimates for 2008/09 and 2009/10 are from “Economic Statement, July 2

elatively minor and probably result from a miscalculation within the Minister’s statement. The
third and more significant one probably resulted from the double counting in the Minister’s statement of the $77 761 000 spent on the Indigenous Land Corporation. Source: Annual Ministerial Budget Statements

Note: These figures are drawn from the Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure (AGIE) tables within the 2006 and 2007 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS). Names for outcomes are only included when they are used in the AGIE tables. On the few occasions when some paraphrasing of an outcome seems appropriate, these have been in cluded in brackets.
It should also be noted that although the 2006â07 PBS for the Defence Portfolio (p.44) notes the existence of several indigenous programs funded from within the defence budget (to do with recruitment, army community assistance, cadets and Indigenous liaison officers) it did not include an AGIE table or separate figure s for these â so no figures have been included in this table nor in the total of AGIE.
