The State Budget next week will deliver on our promises, fix the budget mess and lay the foundations for the future.
Already our Government has saved the taxpayer $27,000 in the three months to July through changes to the Ministerial transport services.
These changes are on track to deliver more than $2 million in savings over four years.
The former Labor Green Government opposed these changes. It is this lack of discipline that created the $1.1 billion budget mess we've inherited.
Our savings measures allow the flexibility to have Ministers travel by a combination of both Ministerial vehicles and chauffeured cars. From March 15 to July 8 chauffeured cars were used four times.
On those occasions, the total cost of those chauffeured cars was $988.58, while the equivalent cost for using Ministerial vehicles would have been $1,120.
We're committed to fixing the budget mess left behind by Labor and the Greens and changes to Ministerial transport services is just one way we are delivering on this.
