Answer

I am advised that for the 2026/27 financial year, the Ministry for Primary Industries has allocated a budget of $23,000 towards an independent audit of its greenhouse gas emissions inventory under the Carbon Neutral Government Programme (CNGP). I am also advised that the Outdoor Access Commission has allocated a budget of $7,000 to their CNGP for financial year 2026/27.
