INTRODUCTION Key Issues The Government has allocated significant additional funding in the 2018-19 Budget to implement all of its 2018 election commitments as well as a range of other initiatives that will improve the delivery of services to the Tasmanian community. Together with the funding provided by the Government in previous Budgets, this new funding is providing strong support for the implementation of the Government’s key priorities of jobs and economic growth; health and education; keeping Tasmanians safe; building infrastructure; and supporting Tasmanians in need. The new funding provided in this Budget has been allocated in the context of the ongoing achievement of all elements of the Government’s established Fiscal Strategy. It is only through an improvement in the Government’s Budget position, which now sees Net Operating Balance surpluses forecast over the Budget and Forward Estimates period, that new funding for services can be allocated in a sustainable and responsible manner. This Budget Paper provides information on an entity basis that supports the whole-of-government information provided in The Budget Budget Paper No 1. Most importantly, this Budget Paper provides detailed information on the services provided by entities (Outputs) and the key deliverables that are being undertaken by the entities over the Budget and Forward Estimates period. Other information provided in this Budget Paper includes: performance information that enables an assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of agencies; details of infrastructure projects being undertaken by agencies; and detailed financial statements for the 2018-19 Budget and Forward Estimates period for each agency. Detailed information that assists in understanding the financial and other information provided in this Budget Paper and The Budget Budget Paper No 1, is provided in the Guide to the Budget available at www.treasury.tas.gov.au. Introduction 3 BUDGET PAPER NO 2 INFORMATION This Budget Paper provides information, on an entity basis, about the Outputs (goods and services) the Government will deliver to the Tasmanian community through General Government Sector entities in 2018-19 and over the Forward Estimates period (2019-20 to 2021-22). This Budget Paper is a major source of financial and non-financial information on the operations of Government departments, agencies and General Government Sector statutory authorities. The other major source of detailed information on these entities is the annual report required to be prepared by each entity (2017-18 Annual Reports will be available by 31 October 2018). Budget Paper No 2 comprises two volumes and three separate parts that reflect the differing nature of entities within the General Government Sector: Part 1 includes Government departments, such as the Department of Communities Tasmania and the Department of Education; Part 2 includes Parliamentary agencies, such as the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council, and other independent entities, such as the Tasmanian Audit Office and the Office of the Ombudsman; and Part 3 includes other statutory authorities within the General Government Sector, such

  • Tasmania: Majority Or Minority Government? *
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Tasmania: Majority or Minority Government? * Michael Lester and Dain Bolwell PhD Candidate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania Associate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania * Double-blind reviewed article. INTRODUCTION While the outcome of the March 2018 Tasmanian State Election was predictable,1 the controversies that dogged the campaign were not. Yet it was the aftermath of the election that was most astonishing—not only to the public but also to members of Cabinet. Tasmania is different. Its parliamentary institutions are unusual and its electoral system is distinctive. So were the issues on which the March 2018 state election was fought. In the lead up to the election both major parties campaigned to govern alone or not at all—neither in minority nor in coalition with the Greens. As well as this apparently overarching concern, there were three other major issues prominent during the campaign—an acute housing shortage, the thousands of poker machines in pubs and clubs, and the surprise matter of gun control. Health, education, law and order, the economy and who would best manage the budget were, as usual, also policy battle grounds; however, the minority government fear campaign, a television blitz on the benefits of poker machines and considerable 1 N.

Instead, a diversity of agencies, laws, practices and ethical codes are required to effectively tackle misconduct and promote integrity (Brown, 2005). The existing mechanisms available in Tasmania to respond to misconduct and promote integrity include: Parliament; The Ombudsman; The State Service Commissioner; The Auditor-General; The Director of Public Prosecutions; Tasmania Police; Commissions of Inquiry; and Legislation – including the Freedom of Information Act 1991, the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2002, and relevant provisions of the State Service Act 2000 and the Local Government Act 1993. Mechanisms such as codes of conduct help to promote integrity, while mechanisms such as freedom of information legislation and the oversight provided by parliamentary committees and the Auditor-General promote transparency.
