2006-07 PRE-BUDGET SUBMISSIONS

I am inviting submissions from individuals, business and community

groups on their views regarding priorities for the 2006-07 Budget.

The Government places considerable importance on receiving community

views in developing its budget strategies and policies.

It would be advisable for those interested in making a submission to do so as

soon as possible, to ensure its consideration in the budget context.

The deadline for submissions is Friday 11 November. Where the

submission is more than 10 pages in length, it would be helpful if a short executive

summary, of no more than two pages, could be included.

Submissions longer than 5 pages should be accompanied by an electronic

version, either on disk or CD, or emailed in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat

format.

Submissions should be forwarded to the address below:

Or email to: prebudgetsubs@treasury.gov.au
