This dataset provides historical data on the net debt of the general government sector.

Net debt equals sum of deposits held, advances received, government securities, loans and other borrowing less the sum of cash and deposits, advances paid and investments, loans and placements.

The 2015-16 Budget is officially available at budget.gov.au as the authoritative source of Budget Papers and Portfolio Budget Statement (PBS) documents. This dataset is a collection of data sources from the 2015-16 Budget, including:

• The Portfolio Budget Statement Excel spreadsheets – Available after PBSs tabled in the Senate (~8.30pm Budget night).
• A Machine Readable CSV of all PBS Excel Spreadsheet Line Items – Available after PBSs tabled in the Senate and translated (~8.30pm Budget night).

Data from the 2015-16 Budget are provided to assist those who wish to analyse, visualise and programmatically access the 2015-16 Budget.

Data users should refer to footnotes and memoranda in the original files as these are not usually captured in machine readable CSVs.

We welcome your feedback and comments below.

This dataset was prepared by the Department of Finance and the Department of the Treasury.

Information about the PBS Excel files and CSV

The PBS Excel files published should include the following financial tables with headings and footnotes. Only the line item data (table 2.2) is available in CSV at this stage. Much of the other data is also available in the Budget Papers 1 and 4 in aggregate form:

• Table 1.1: Entity Resource Statement;
• Table 1.2: Entity 2015-16 Budget Measures;
• Table 2.1: Budgeted Expenses for Outcome X;
• Table 2.2: Programme Expenses and Programme Components.
• Table 3.1.1: Movement of Administered Funds Between Years;
• Table 3.1.2: Estimates of Special Account Flows and Balances;
• Table 3.1.3: Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure (AGIE);
• Tables 3.2.1 to 3.2.6: Departmental Budgeted Financial Statements; and
• Tables 3.2.7 to 3.2.11: Administered Budgeted Financial Statements.

Please note, total expenses reported in the CSV file ‘2015-16 PBS line items dataset’ was prepared from individual entity programme expense tables. Totalling these figures does not produce the total expense figure in ‘Table1: Estimates of General Government Expenses’ (Statement 6, Budget Paper 1).

Differences relate to:

1. Intra entity charging for services which are eliminated for the reporting of general government financial statements;
2. Entity expenses that involve revaluation of assets and liabilities are reported as other economic flows in general government financial statements; and
3. Additional entities’ expenses are included in general government sector expenses (e.g. Australian Strategic Policy Institute Limited and other entities) noting that only entities that are directly government funded are required to prepare a PBS.

The original PBS Excel files and published documents include sub-totals and totals by entity and appropriation type which are not included in the line item CSV. These can be calculated programmatically. Where modifications are identified they will be updated as required.

If a corrigendum to an entities PBS is issued after budget night, tables will be updated as necessary.

The structure of the line item CSV is;

• Portfolio
• Department/Entity
• Outcome
• Program
• Expense type
• Appropriation type
• Description
• 2014-15
• 2015-16
• 2016-17
• 2017-18
• 2018-19
• Source document
• Source table
• URL

The data transformation is expected to be complete by midday 13 May. We may put up an incomplete CSV which will continue to be updated as additional PBSs are transformed into data form.

The following Portfolios are included in the line item CSV:

• Agriculture
• Attorney General's
• Communications
• Defence
• Education and Training
• Employment
• Environment
• Finance
• Foreign Affairs and Trade
• Health
• Human Services
• Immigration and Border Protection
• Industry and Science
• Infrastructure and Regional Development
• Parliamentary Departments
• Prime Minister and Cabinet
• Social Services
• Treasury
• Veterans' Affairs

This dataset provides historical data on the net financial liability of the general government sector.

Net financial liabilities are the total liabilities less financial assets, other than equity in public non-financial corporations and public financial corporations. This measure is broader than net debt as it includes significant liabilities, other than borrowings e.g. accrued employee liabilities such as superannuation and long service leave entitlements

Note:

On 7 September 2020, the Queensland Government announced its intention to integrate the PSBA functions and staff into the public safety agencies of the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), as part of a wider strategy to structurally reform government statutory bodies and agencies and increase further efficiencies in the delivery of quality outcomes to Queensland communities.

On 27 May 2021, the Queensland Parliament passed the Debt Reduction and Savings Bill which repealed the Public Safety Business Agency Act 2014, resulting in the PSBA being abolished from 1 July 2021.

The disestablishment of the PSBA and the corresponding functional transition into the QPS and QFES, as per the Administrative Arrangements Order (No. 2) 2021 (AAO), was completed by 30 June 2021.

Due to the disestablishment of the PSBA, all Open Data records within the Queensland Open Data Portal relating to the PSBA have been migrated to QPS.

For enquires or further information about the PSBA, please contact the QPS or QFES using the comments section or the contact us page.
