Jul 03 - Budget Speech By the Minister for Traffic, Housing and Technical Services, Paul Balban
Ministry for Housing
Mr Speaker,
It gives me great pleasure to stand here today to deliver my third Budget address. Time and tide wait for no man – and this is becoming so evidently clear now. How time flies. One would be forgiven to think that on this side of the House one should be getting increasingly nervous, as our end of tenure looms ever closer. Surely, our political shadows should already be rubbing their hands together in view of this waning time, before what, they feel, should be a feeding frenzy on a banquet of unfulfilled manifesto commitments, but alas for them, there should be no left-overs, not even a morsel to be devoured.
Mr Speaker
