General revenue funds and specific-purpose payments rise at varied rates, with overall increases around 12.2 percent for the year, while inflation risks erode real gains.

Premiers Reject Borrowing Rise Plan And Press Federal Reductions
The Premiers failed to win approval for expanding the Loan Council borrowing limit from 4 to 15 percent in yesterday’s conferences. They criticized the federal stance as inflexible while noting inflation and unemployment concerns. A limited uplift to small-state borrowing from 100000 to 500000 in annual funds was passed, but overall consensus remained elusive. The meeting extended late into the afternoon, with most premiers expressing disappointment at the lack of concrete cost-relief or budgetary moves.

Australia's chief sugar negotiator John Laurie said talks with Japanese refiners to amend the long term sugar contract had broken down. CSR marketing agent Laurie noted the dispute had persisted for about a year and Japanese industry sources warned they might refuse delivery of Australian raw sugar under the 200 million dollar five year contract. The deal was backed by exchanges of letters between governments and buyers lacking rights to terminate the contract.
