The 2026-27 Budget Papers show that for 2024-25 total cost of service was $146.6m delivered by 72 FTE for Preventing and Responding to Family and Domestic Violence, and in 2026-27 the total cost of service is $177.1m and FTE has decreased to 70. Can the Minister advise:
(a) How has funding gone up by 21% and FTE decreased by 2.8%;
(b) Are services being contracted out; and
(c) What explains the decrease in FTE from 72 in 2024-25 to 66 in 2025-26, especially as note 1 on page 489 says that there is an increased investment in frontline capacity?
