NSW Finance Minister Damien Tudehope has called for the focus to remain on bushfire recovery, saying “it’s easy for this issue to go off the front page when the disaster is not there”.

“It’s important that we keep the focus on the recovery process in relation to bushfires,” Mr Tudehope told Sky News host Peter Gleeson. Mr Tudehope said from his perspective, as minister, “it’s important to be really involved in the recovery process”.

He told Sky News host Peter Gleeson many “tourist towns” in the state have done it “very, very tough” as a result of the bushfires. “There is a real stagnation of those businesses and a significant demand on governments to be able to respond to the trauma that those businesses are going through”. He also said, “we all have a role to play” as he spoke of programs and plans designed to return “stimulus” and business back to impacted towns.

SenatorRennick Super should only be available as a pension, and should not be cashed in to pay debt. SenatorRennick You can't keep changing the goal posts with superannuation. People are using the rules and planning years in advance for their retirement. People must be secure in the knowledge of what they are doing is right.
