The purpose of the 2022–23 Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES) is to inform Senators, Members of Parliament and the public of the proposed allocation of additional resources to government outcomes by entities within the portfolio.
The PAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2022–2023 and Appropriation Bill (No. 4) 2022–2023. In this sense the PAES is declared by the Appropriation Acts to be a ‘relevant document’ to the interpretation of the Acts according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
