Dear Mr President
Dear Mr Speaker
I hereby submit Portfolio Budget Statements in support of the 2004-05 Budget for the Treasury Portfolio.
The Portfolio Budget Statements set out:
- the outcomes and outputs developed for the portfolio;
- the portfolio’s administered items;
- information on budget measures affecting portfolio outcomes; and
- the performance indicators and evaluations to be used to assess performance against portfolio outcomes.
I present these statements by virtue of my Ministerial responsibility for accountability to the Parliament and, through it, the public.
Yours sincerely

Peter Costello
