Differences in party and PBO commitment lists

The approach for determining which election commitments are included in the report is set out in PBO general election guidance note 1, The Election Commitments Report: overview.[29] 

The Greens provided a list of election commitments to the Parliamentary Budget Officer on 2 May 2025, prior to the legislated deadline of 5pm Friday, 2 May 2025. The list was published on the PBO website on 4 May 2025. 

The Greens identified 347 election commitments in their list. This report lists 345 commitments including one interaction analysis between commitments. A reconciliation of these commitment lists is provided in Table 5-3.

The Greens did not provide a formal response to the PBO’s list of commitments. 

Appendix E provides further information on how the PBO assesses the materiality of election commitments for the purposes of this report.
