It's not unusual, I have to say, for agencies to ask for extra money during the budget process. I'm sure Senator Wong, during her time as a minister, would have found that agencies frequently ask for additional money during budget processes. It is, of course, then a matter during the budget processes to assess that. The ANAO annual appropriations for its operating and capital costs continue to go up each and every year over the forward estimates.
