Premier Vows To Reverse Fiscal Decline

As debate got underway on the Alward Government's first budget, work has already started on the second.

That word from Premier David Alward and he warns it isn't going to get any easier with tough choices and sacrifices lying ahead but concedes it's difficult to change the collective mindset.

Alward says the most important job facing his government is to reverse the fiscal decline. He accuses the previous Liberal Government of providing 4 years of mismanagement.

 Alward goes on to say all government departments are undergoing a spending review, M-L-A salaries are frozen and their pension benefits will be lowered.
