NSW: Funding shortfall delays NSW Budget - govt = 2
Victorian Treasurer John Brumby said the state's strong financial position meant thebudget would be delivered on time despite federal funding cuts.
Although funding had dropped by about $80 million, the budget was on track to be handeddown on May 7, he told AAP.
"The cuts came out of the blue and will mean that in this budget there will be lessfunding for schools and hospitals and police than we would otherwise be able (to deliver),"
he said.
"As a result of the treasurers' conference four weeks ago, Victoria lost around $80million a year.
"Our strong financial position and budget buffer means we can work our way through the cuts."
