Premier Bush announced in the LA Friday (15) the budget has been sent to the FCO (albeit late). He said there is a surplus making it a balanced budget with only a modest borrowing request.

The premier said that responsible financial management remained a priority for his administration and it had worked hard to try and lower all spending requests, which had exceeded his $498 million target set for the civil service in January by some $130 milllion.
