Estimates of the probable ways and means and expenditure of the government of Queensland is a Previous Series of Budget Papers - Queensland

Queensland budget papers have been published since 1860. Until about 1989, the budget speech was known as the Financial Statement of the Treasurer; it was originally published in the Hansard, and later as a separate document. The Financial Statement was accompanied by the Estimates of the Probable Ways and Means and Expenditure of the Government of Queensland (1860-1991/92), and Tables relating to the Treasurer's Financial Statement (1874-1984).

From 1985 the budget papers were grouped under the entry "Queensland Budget" in the Parliamentary Papers; they were numbered from 1990. From 1860-1901, the budget papers were published in the Votes and Proceedings, and from 1902-1992 in the Parliamentary Papers.

In recent years the budget papers have comprised 3-6 documents, including the Budget Speech, Budget Statement, Economic and Revenue Outlook, and Budget Highlights. Available online from 1997.
