Question

I refer to WA Labor’s commitment to invest $39,500,000 to make the Ngala Residential Parenting Service free for families, and I ask:(a) can the Minister please identify the 2025–26 budget paper, page number and line item that contains the $39,500,000 for this commitment?

Answer

Election Commitments, including small commitments, are matters of the public record. It is standard practice for small election commitments to be consolidated under a single funding line in the Budget Papers. Details of individual commitments are publicly available through election materials and related announcements. Election commitments are delivered across the term of Government.
