Actual outturn as reported after the year closed, not the estimate voted at the start of it.
• Revenue: £137.8 million • Expenditure: £171.2 million (£133.4m recurrent, £37.8m capital)
Federal Government, calendar year. Overall deficit £33.4 million, financed by loans and drawing on reserves.
Colonial figures are in sterling; hyphenated years (e.g. 1925-26) are April–March financial years. What counts as 'revenue' changed over time — the railway was included from 1925-26 and excluded again from 1936-37 — so compare neighbouring years with care.
