SA:Job cuts in SA budget

The South Australian government says public service jobs will be axed in the state's
budget in September .. but Treasurer KEVIN FOLEY won't say now how many.

The treasurer says tough action is needed to ensure the state's economic future and
to preserve its triple-A credit rating.

However .. that's been disputed by the unions .. with the Public Service Association
saying there's no need to slash jobs and services.

The PSA is warning the government's plan is to cut 750 million dollars from the budget
.. despite recent research revealing improvements in economic .. employment and revenue
growth.
