BUDGET STRATEGY STATEMENT
Paper
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer): Mr Speaker, for the information of members I present the budget strategy statement, dated July 1991, which was released when the Assembly was not sitting on 24 July 1991, although, of course, it was circulated to members. I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
MR KAINE (Leader of the Opposition) (3.11): Mr Speaker, the document that the Chief Minister and Treasurer just tabled is the budget strategy that you table when you do not have a budget strategy. I think it is deserving of considerable comment, in the light of the circumstances in which the Territory finds itself at the moment. It has been quite clear, since self-government, that a major transition financially was required of this Territory.
In Ms Follett's first government and first budget she simply failed to address that issue, although it was well known that there was a problem. In the last budget, the second budget of the self-governing Territory, we changed the direction to the tune of $80m in one year, because it was necessary that we do so. The task that was to be confronted this year started off with about the same order of change being necessary. I think the Chief Minister and Treasurer would acknowledge that that was the starting point for the order of change in the current year's budget.
