New South Wales Treasurer Daniel Mookhey joined Sky News Australia to discuss the state’s budget.
Mr Mookhey says what the government has done with the budget is “carefully balance” the need to fix “the essential services people rely on, provide help to families during this once-in-a-generation cost of living crisis and stabilise the state’s finances”.
The NSW Treasurer said the Minns’ government was the “first government since 2020/2021” to “not spend every single dollar” pouring into the state’s treasury.
“What we are doing is putting away some of that money for a rainy day – to help us rebuild the public’s finances,” Mr Mookhey said.
“I am the first treasurer in a couple of years to present a budget in which our expenses aren’t growing as fast as our revenue.”
