BUDGET CUTS

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:53): My question is again to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer proceed with cuts to public sector long service leave and annual leave entitlements as outlined in the budget?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (14:53): I was just thinking that I wish Janet Giles had read that maiden speech I made 13 years ago; she might have realised that I have been operating in deep cover all these years, and that I really share her commitment to the revolution.

I share the previous treasurer's commitment to financial sustainability. That means we need to meet all the savings measures that have been set out in the previous budget. As Treasurer, I am committed to meeting those savings.
