Briefing Description

Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner says the 2009/10 Budget delivers an additional $1.1 billion in savings over four years in the operation of government, further strengthening the Rudd Government’s record of reform. This brings total savings from improving government efficiency under the Rudd Government to around $5 billion over five years.

We know implementation of the Gershon Report has identified more than $100 million in BAU savings from ICT expenditure, but the magnitude of the savings identified by Tanner means there are further major changes to Government operations and processes.

This briefing will highlight the key points and ICT opportunities embedded in the Federal Budget.

It is vital that companies attend this briefing as it will be a closed door session. The information will only be provided to attendees who attend and slides will not be provided.
