2. The variation is mainly due to lower expenditure in relation to Australian Biological Resources Study and the International Whale Science Initiative.

3. The variation is the result of a restructure. The expenses for the Biodiversity fund have been recorded in Outcome 1.1 while the budget allocation is in Outcome 1.3.

Expenses for Outcome 2
Outcome 2: Improved sustainability of Australia’s population, communities and environment through coordination and development of sustainable population and communities policies, and the reduction and regulation of waste, pollutants and hazardous substances.	Budget*	Actual Expenses	Variation
