The Treasurer, Wayne Swan, has invited Australian families, individuals, businesses and community groups to submit their ideas and priorities for the 2011-12 Budget.  In order to allow views to feed into the Budget process at an early stage all interested parties must lodge submissions by Friday 28 January 2011.

“Submissions should be mindful of the Government’s strong commitment to its fiscal strategy and the need to offset new spending with savings. While the Budget remains on track to return to surplus in 2012-2013, well ahead of any major advanced economy, the Budget must maintain the discipline of the Government’s fiscal strategy,” Mr Swan said.
