(a) Data for the Department of Defence aligns with data in Budget Paper No 4 (1998-99). As such it includes military personnel costs and excludes property operating estimates. Defence operates under global funding arrangements and is not subject to most running cost operating arrangements.

(b) Commonwealth Superannuation Administration staff are no longer funded from running costs in 1998-99 and are therefore excluded from ASL figures after 1997-98.

(c) Figures may change due to the proposed merger of the Immigration Review Tribunal with the Migration Internal Review Office.

The Anti-Dumping Authority will be abolished in 1998-99 but will have some ongoing liabilities for the remainder of that year.

The Commonwealth Service Delivery Agency will be operating on a purchaser provider arrangement in 1998-99 and is largely funded from s31 receipts which are not included in the budget and forward estimates.
