(a) A minus sign before an estimate indicates a reduction in expenses, no sign before an estimate indicates increased expenses.
(b) The cost of this measure will be met from within existing AusAID resources.
(c) These measures can also be found in the revenue measures summary table.
(d) These measures can also be found in the capital measures summary table.
(e) The impact of this measure is a cost of $3.2 million over four years ($1.2 million for the Department of the Treasury and $2.0 million for DAFF). This measure has been funded by the removal of a previous decision taken but not yet announced.
(f) Funding is provided to Treasury as payment to states and territories.
(g) Provision for this funding has already been included in the forward estimates.
(h) The impact of this measure is $19.2 million in underlying cash terms over the forward estimates.
(i) DFRB refers to the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Scheme and DFRDB refers to the Defence Force Retirement and Death Benefits Scheme.
(j) This decision will save $835.0 million over four years.

(l) The cost of this measure will be met from within the existing resources of the New Car Plan for a Greener Future package.
(m) The 2013‑14 Budget included re-profiled net savings of $62.9 million from the program between 2013‑14 and 2017‑18 from a 'decision taken but not yet announced'. The Government has since redirected $45.0 million ($30.0 million beyond the forward estimates) from the Liveable Cities program to the RDAF to support Round 5 of the Fund.
(n) This measure provides $22.1 million over four years for ASIC. This is fully offset by levies and therefore has no net impact on the budget. This measure was previously recorded as a decision taken but not yet announced.
(o) Measures may not add due to rounding.
