The Victorian State Budget for 2008-2009 was presented to Parliament today Tuesday May 6th 2008 by the Hon. John Lenders MP.

According to the Treasurer's speech,

...the 2008-09 Budget takes action to deliver the infrastructure, projects and services needed to secure Victoria’s future. This budget tackles pressing issues in areas such as health, education, transport, community safety and climate change, as well as meeting the challenges posed by our rapidly growing population. This budget also delivers new investment in regional Victoria and Melbourne's high growth suburbs, and a major package of support for families.

This budget has a number of very significant implications for LLEN Members and stakeholders.

As a service to members we have provided a detailed set of focused links to key budget areas which includes YouTube interviews with key Ministers.

Included are links to full budget documentation as well as summarised Press Releases from a range of Ministerial Portfolios relevant to the work of the LLEN.

This list is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it an assessment of the details of the announcements.
