Government stance at Premier Conference on budget and economy
Mr Festow outlined that the Federal Government would not approve conference resolutions unless aligned with them and that the government would stand by the conference agreement. Interviews with Mr Scollin in Canberra suggested notable savings in services and communications, likely reducing the budget expenditure. Mr Fenton cited overseas investors pouring capital into the country as proof against alarm over current positions and recalled the 1890s crisis when a government job was lost. Australia now is better placed to endure any origin of strain, with legislation to match prior needs. Five million Treasury bills maturing September 2 were discussed with some delay, but all steps were in place to meet the obligation.
