Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MP Roy Butler has expressed his disappointment in the NSW Government’s budget announcement’s today.
“The Berejiklian Government has celebrated its operating surplus and its record investment in infrastructure across the state and that’s all good - if you forget that western NSW is also part of the state.”
The Barwon electorate is 44% of the state, but hasn’t had a significant school or hospital upgrade funded in this budget.
“All I am seeing in this budget is a continuation of record neglect of western NSW,” Mr Butler said.
