‘With the increased responsibilities placed upon Treasury following the reorganisation of Government, I am pleased that my colleagues have agreed to accept these delegations.  I am fortunate to have an experienced and dedicated team who bring a wide variety of ideas and a strong commitment to their roles.  As a team I am sure that we can, and will, achieve much for the benefit of our community.
