Costings

Assume a prime minister was to announce tomorrow that Australia would construct one large Nuclear Power Station (NPS) but without any costings or any other details.

However, the Treasury's Spring budget policy costings document has costed up future tax years based on the Isa allowance rising in line with CPI inflation - which it estimates would cost the Exchequer an additional £35million in the 2024/25 tax year.

The Department of Education has confirmed the estimated costings for the new build for Enniskillen Royal Grammar School (ERGS).

Five or six of the 27 policy costings in the document were not based on assessments from the civil service.

In an official update released on Monday, as the federal opposition prepares to release its costings, scientists warn taxpayers will need deep pockets and a lead time of at least 15 years to develop nuclear energy generation.

The commissioners are currently waiting for three different schemes to be drawn up along with costings.

Ms Palaszcuk also repeated the line, rejecting suggestions it was hypocritical attack the LNP for not releasing its costings until the final week of campaigning when Labor had done so on the second-last day in both 2015 and 2017.

The Canberra Liberals have released costings for their election commitments, nine days out from the 17 October poll.

But there are no costings to underpin those specific measures.

Documents purporting to be Treasury costings were circulated to media outlets to demonstrate that Labor would increase taxes by $390 billion over a decade compared to the government.

In its 'grey book' of costings, the party reveals it wants to raise £5billion by slapping VAT on private school fees, reversing cuts on inheritance tax and scrapping the marriage allowance.

One thing the minister did say about costings is that there will be no additional taxes place on people to fund the new plan.

Second, it is obvious that the costings were based on the situation before the June 30 changes.

It was the fifth year of the expedition, and the original costings now looked naive compared to the true costs of the trip.
