Budget History - Cumulative % Variations from Budget at 2nd Pass Approval

Since Second Pass budget approval of $2,0 77m, price indexation and foreign exchange variations have largely been offset by significant real variations including: Budgetary Adjustment reduction of $149m in June 2004 reflecting a Defence Committee direction following evaluation of tenders; and a transfer of $136m in November 2005 to DSG for approved infrastructure upgrades at the Main Operating Base at Amberley.
