If a seven and a half million loan is approved, state works would be cut by about four million, leaving a five million carry over next year and prompting further reductions if conditions worsen. Rumors claim a 10 million internal borrowing cap next year, risking drastic cuts to state relief and ordinary works. Victoria and New South Wales anticipate multi-million downgrades, with allocations likely based on last year’s figures and relief work shifted to sustenance schemes.
