House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time State Government Revenue State Government Revenue The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly Davenport State Government Revenue The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:38): My question is to the Treasurer. Is it the case that the up and coming budget will see a write-up in state government revenue, given that yesterday's Queensland budget wrote up revenue by some $3.7 billion over the four years, beginning this year, compared with what was predicted in the Queensland mid-year budget review? The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Finance Minister for State Development Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy Minister for Small Business State Government Revenue The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:38): Obviously, the final figures will be released on budget day and members can make their own judgements then, but it is fair to say that our own receipts are down, offset by receipts from the GST, so the net benefit is minor. I will make a much more fulsome answer to the house on budget day.
