Appendix F - Responses from parties on the draft report

 

Pursuant to Section 64MC of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999, and consistent with previous practice, the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) provided to each designated parliamentary party and the independent member for Indi, a copy of the part of the Election Commitments Report at least 48 hours before publicly releasing the report. This set out the costings of that party’s election commitments and the total combined impact of those commitments on the budget estimates. 

On Friday 13 June 2025, the PBO provided to each party the relevant sections of the report and election commitment costings. Comments were sought by close of business 17 June 2025.
