Baillieu dumps half toll policy from $1 to $10; toll road revenue halved; $6b toll revenues raise over $20bn of budget surpluses – ABC News

The Federal Government and the Northern Territory are to release a $60 million bill for the Northern Territory's major infrastructure projects on Wednesday night at a time when the government is considering a $400 million package of spending cuts, including major budget surpluses for schools, universities and roads, to deal with the Northern Territory's economic slowdown.

A Senate bill to increase the budget for infrastructure by $12.5 billion is also expected to be introduced on Wednesday. The government will release a budget that takes into account the bill and will report back to the federal parliament.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk's statement follows the introduction of a new bill that would see the Government cut back on $2 million in funding for the Northern Territory's major infrastructure projects.

The new budget package was designed to stimulate the economy. Mr Palaszczuk said the new budget should be "flexible for the economy".

"These projects provide opportunities for us to ensure the nation and its people are not left behind," she said.

A $60 million bill is an acknowledgement of the fact that the Northern Territory is "a leading nation in the mining industry", Ms Palaszczuk said.

"This legislation is designed to create more growth and opportunities for our people – a nation in which mining industry employment is now at a level not seen since the 1850s."

However, the Northern Territory's major infrastructure plan includes $200 million in a $1-billion funding source for water infrastructure in the state, according to the Northern Territory Government website.

Labor has criticized the $60 million bill, suggesting it shows the Government is seeking to take away "our future".

"I think people recognise this is a government that was elected on a promise to 'keep the mining boom alive and to expand and invest in jobs', but now their plans for the Northern Territory would put millions of jobs in doubt and harm our economy," Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said.

In September, the Government launched a massive road widening scheme that, for now, only covers a section of the Territory's northern border with New Guinea and PNG, but is part of a broad plan to spend $20 billion a year in the next three decades to build the nation's roads, roads, rail and bridges.

Labor has pointed out that a recent study released by the Institute of Public Affairs finds the current "significant lack of government funding, in particular to public infrastructure, wil

Snowfall continues in southern australia

By Chris Priestman | September 8, 2013 5:21 pm

After a winter that saw snowfall in southern Australia, it looks like things will continue to fall as the year goes on.

From mid-September onwards, the low will be at or below 25C and the high will be over 20C — but that's expected to become the norm by mid-October, with a trough appearing around the end of October.

"There's definitely a risk of a trough. So we're seeing an increasing number of people going out," meteorologist Nick Coughlan said.

"We'll see a peak around the end of October, but once you get through that that peak could come and pass quickly, the trough might never come again."

The outlook for Tasmania and other high-latitude coastal states like western Australia was the most positive.

In Western Australia, there was a low forecast for the afternoon of 11 September. This meant that many houses, shops and tourist sites would still be closed.

It was expected to change into wet weather, with winds from northwest to southeast.

The cold front is expected to pass off north-east Tasmania, then move west-north-west towards North East Queensland and New South Wales.

It then continues for another six hours on up north before it crosses in the western end of the state in the early hours of 12 hours time.

The weather system is not expected to stay for long.

There was one blizzard this week in the state — the second on record, the first was in August 1988 and the weather office has been watching for such a one, too.

Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast have experienced more blizzards than all other locations in southern Australia. There have been 24, but this could turn out to be the most in the region in recent years.

The snowfall that will continue until Saturday has led the Meteorological Disaster Preparedness Centre (MDPFC) to start a three-day warm-up.

The centre has four core locations in the state, in Adelaide and on the Great Southern, and several hot spots across the state, including parts of the southern highlands.

All locations wil
