+$2.3m (+3.3%) on 2025-26 estimated actual
Of this $70m, $57m is paid to it by other Commonwealth entities and is counted where it is paid from. It could not be traced to the line that pays it; look in the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts portfolio. Only the $13m counted here, mostly “Revenues from other independent sources” ($12m), adds to the portfolio and whole-of-government totals. How the payer is found.
