Expenditure on justice<br />

Total recurrent expenditure on justice in 1998–99<br />

was almost $6b (equivalent to $310 per person).<br />

Police services accounted for the majority of<br />

this expenditure ($4b); corrective services were<br />

the next largest sector with expenditure of just<br />

over $1b.<br />

Expenditure between 1994–95 and 1998–99 grew<br />

fastest in real terms for corrective services<br />

(annual average growth rate of 7.1%), and most<br />

slowly for criminal courts administration (annual<br />

average growth rate of 2.0%).
