Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Civic Society Representatives

Ms Bríd O'Brien:
First, the Minister needs to reverse the tax to cuts ratio. If we want services, we need to seriously address the tax take issue. Second, social welfare rates need to be maintained. People are struggling in poverty and further impoverishing them will not get them back to work. Third, public sector reform needs to be real reform that strives to provide good services to people.
