Answer

The question appears to refer to “Crown Law funding”. It has been interpreted as Crown funding provided to Crown Law. Of the $104.017 million of Crown funding (Revenue Crown) approved for Crown Law in Budget 2025 for the 2025/26 financial year, $74.310 million was allocated to the Crown Solicitor Network for Public Prosecution Services. This represents approximately 71% of the Crown funding provided to Crown Law for 2025/26.
