Budget 2005 Information Release

Information release of Budget 2005-related Budget strategy papers, Cabinet papers, bilateral briefing papers and additional papers.

In previous years the Treasury has received numerous requests under the Official Information Act for Budget related information. In anticipation of such requests we are making available the following documents, which are among the most frequently required.

Please note that all figures in the bilateral briefings, Cabinet papers and minutes are GST inclusive, whereas the figures published in Budget 2005 are all exclusive of GST.

The Cabinet papers associated with the Government’s savings package, Securing Your Future, were released on Budget day and are available for viewing or download on the Securing Your Future Information Release page.
