Ministerial Statement and Paper
MR KAINE (Chief Minister and Treasurer), by leave: Mr Speaker, in making this statement today, I am in a position to assure the Assembly and the ACT community of the continuing soundness of this Government's 1990-91 budget. I believe that it is important that I do so, given some idle speculation of recent date.
Mr Berry: What about the hospitals?
MR KAINE: I will come to that if you will just sit patiently, Mr Berry.
