PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (16:57): My question is again to the Treasurer. Can he confirm the number of public servants who will lose their jobs over the budget forward estimate period as a result of the budget cuts recently announced?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations) (16:57): I released that number in the Mid-Year Budget Review: 1,600.
