Each entity here is a department’s own published total expenses from its Budget Paper 5 statement. The twelve budget departments are not every entity the state spends through. The two totals are prepared on different bases and are not expected to match. Neither is FOCUp's: the budget total is the one on the budget page, which remains the source of truth for what this government spends.

Largest contracts

A contract notice is the value of an agreement over its whole term, not money spent in a year, so these are never added to the budget figures.
