    POLICE BUDGET
Page: 881


    The Hon. MICHAEL GALLACHER: My question is directed to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer recall telling the House yesterday, less than 24 hours after he delivered the budget, that if NSW Police needs to seek appropriations to make up for a funding shortfall in order to pay police officers, fund police pay rises and pay for staff redundancies, the Government will seek these appropriations? Is that statement an indication that within 24 hours of delivering the budget the Treasurer was prepared to walk away from the spending projections that it contains?

    The Hon. MICHAEL COSTA: No.
