INTRODUCTION The Portfolio Statements are a key element of the accrual–output budgeting approach as they outline financial and non-financial information about the services provided to and on behalf of the community by each portfolio. The following discussion outlines key aspects of the portfolio statements and also provides an overview of government outcomes. In the last budget the format and content of portfolio statements were overhauled to provide users with an understanding of the linkage between the strategic directions of the Government and their relationship with service delivery at a portfolio level. In this budget this concept has been maintained. OVERVIEW STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT OUTCOMES Government outcomes, which are listed below, are the highest level objectives of each service provided by a portfolio. The Directions for South Australia process is the Government’s key planning and priority-setting tool and provides a detailed discussion of each outcome, and the associated foundations and directions. Directions for South Australia 2001-02 is planned for release in June 2001. · Education and lifelong learning—investing in the future of South Australia through quality education, training and lifelong learning · Employment and economic development—fostering economic prosperity through sustainable growth · Regional communities—improving the economic, social, cultural and environmental well-being of South Australia’s regions by assisting regional communities and their people to develop their potential · Culture, lifestyle and the environment - defining South Australia as a creative, dynamic and productive place to live, work and visit - maintaining a clean environment that creates a sense of pride in where we live and encourages growth and development in an ecologically responsible manner · Health and communities - enhancing the quality of life of South Australians through government and community partnerships - promoting health and well-being and developing sustainable communities and quality living standards - ensuring individuals and families receive care and support for their health and well-being at a cost the community is willing to bear - promoting and supporting community diversity · Justice and safety—ensuring equitable access to justice, prevention of crime and an equitable, competitive, informed and socially responsible marketplace that provides fair trading for consumers and businesses · Government reform—creating a system responsive to the needs of the 21st century. PLANNING DRIVING BUDGETING Planning and budgeting have been very closely linked in the preparation of this budget and each portfolio statement shows the linkages between portfolio outcomes and outputs, cross-government and ministerial priorities, and overall government outcomes. The following map highlights the key elements of the planning framework, as displayed in each portfolio statement. Government Outcomes Education Employment Regional Culture, Health and Justice and Government and lifelong and economic communities lifestyle and the communities safety reform learning development environment Major initiatives in line Ongoing portfolio with target government outcomes outcomes and outputs Portfolio Outcomes Cross-Government Ministerial Priority Areas Priority Areas and Key Initiatives Portfolio Output Classes and Outputs The key elements of the planning framework are: · Government outcomes—seven key themes within Directions for South Australia which are the target outcomes for all government services · Key priority areas and initiatives in line with target government outcomes—reflect the strategic planning of the Government’s 2001-02 Budget process · Portfolio outcomes—describe the expected benefits to users of government services · Portfolio outputs—describe the nature of each service provided by each portfolio. The adoption of this planning and budgeting framework reflects the Government’s commitment to effective planning and resource allocation, quality leadership and public sector accountability. OVERVIEW OF PORTFOLIO STATEMENTS The portfolio statements outline details of projected portfolio performance for 2001-02. In order to maximise readability, each portfolio statement conforms to the following standard outline: · Portfolio structure—structure diagram illustrating the key controlled and administered entities within the portfolio · Strategic context—one-page summary of the strategic and operational scope of the portfolio · Relationships between priority areas, initiatives, outcomes and outputs—illustration of the relationships between government outcomes, government and ministerial priorities and initiatives, and ongoing portfolio operations · Financial summary—summary of key 2001-02 financial statistics for the portfolio · Output classes and output statements—summary of 2000-01 highlights and 2001-02 targets for each output class and outline of financial and non-financial service delivery issues and measures for each output · Outputs net expenditure statement—summary of output costs for all outputs for both the 2000-01 and 2001-02 years. All operating expenses and revenues (excluding appropriations) have been allocated to outputs and where applicable administered expenses and revenues have also been allocated. In some cases, where the allocation of administered items would not add value to the analysis of resource allocation across outputs, these allocations have not been undertaken · Investing summary statement—summary of total investing payments and receipts for 2001-02 and an outline of key investing projects · Financial statements—budgeted financial statements for controlled and administered items · Notes to the portfolio statements · Major resource variation commentary · Additional portfolio information. KEY CHANGES TO PORTFOLIO OUTPUTS AND MEASURES During the course of 2000-01 some portfolios have conducted outputs and measures reviews and as a result have developed revised outputs and measures for the 2001-02 Portfolio Statements. These revisions mean that a number of the outputs and measures presented in the 2000-01 Portfolio Statements have been replaced, merged or redefined. The portfolio statements for 2001-02 reflect the revised outputs and measures and all 2000-01 targets have been restated in accordance with these revisions. CHANGES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT FORMATS The financial statements outlined in the 2001-02 Portfolio Statements are based upon Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) as they have been in prior budgets. In the main, the financial statement formats and accounting treatments are consistent with those included in the 2000-01 Portfolio Statements with the following exceptions. Recent changes to AAS1 Statement of Financial Performance have been instituted which have resulted in the following: · the name of the primary operating financial statement has changed to the Statement of Financial Performance · the abolition of Abnormal Items and the tightening of the definition of Extraordinary Items · the introduction of new equity movement disclosures at the bottom of the statement. The format of the 2001-02 financial statements for administered items has been changed. Summary information has been provided within the financial statements for all administered items while details of individual cash movements have been included by way of an expanded cash flow summary in the notes to the statements for each portfolio.

  • EASTICK, Bruce
    DON DUNSTAN FOUNDATION 1 DON DUNSTAN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Bruce EASTICK This is George Lewkowicz for the Don Dunstan Foundation History Project interviewing Dr Bruce Eastick, who was a member of parliament in the early ’70s, became Leader of the Opposition in 1972 and was a member of parliament through to the early ’90s. Dr Eastick, thanks very much for doing this interview for the Don Dunstan Foundation History Project. Can you just talk briefly about yourself so we have some idea of your educational, employment background and how you got into politics? I was the elder son of Thomas and Ruby Eastick, born in the home at Colonel Light Gardens or actually on the edge of Colonel Light Gardens, which was known as Reade Park. Locally it was known as ‘Snobsville’ because (laughs) it was a private development, whereas Colonel Light Gardens had been a major government development after the First World War. I went to Colonel Light Gardens Primary School through to grade seven and then up to Urrbrae Agricultural High School where I went through to Leaving. I had gained a particular interest in agriculture or farming, mainly because my mother’s elder sister was on a farm at Avon in the Lower North here and I’d spent quite a lot of time up there, and hence on to Urrbrae. From Urrbrae I went directly to Roseworthy Agricultural College – still wanting to be a “cocky”, or a farmer – and during the first year at Roseworthy College a team of horses or a number of horses young and old broke into a wheat crop and I was one of a series of students that was called upon by the then College veterinarian, Phil Schinckel, to give a hand to treat the horses and said, ‘That’s for me’.
