Answer
I am advised that the Ministry of Justice has budgeted for an emissions audit in FY26 as per the requirement of the Carbon Neutral Government Programme at a cost of $8,350. There is a budget of $1,700.00 to carry out an annual waste audit at the Justice Centre. Therefore, a total of $10,905.00 has been allocated in the 2026 financial year. The Ministry does not budget on a calendar-year basis.
