I am advised

The former Liberal-National government handed down the worst financial position government in the States history. The incoming government has inherited in excess of $7 billion in unfunded programs and $187 billion in debt over the forward estimates.

The State and Federal goverments are currently reviewing programs in light of the former Liberal- National government’s financial mismanagement and history of cost overruns.
