The Illawarra Region has been virtually forgotten by Nathan Rees and Eric Roozendaal in the State Budget, Shadow Minister for the Illawarra Greg Pearce said today.

Treasurer Eric Roozendaal and Finance Minister Joe Tripodi must urgently clarify thier plan to deal with the blow-out in the State's unfunded superannuation liabilities, Shadow Minister for Financial Management, Greg Pearce said today.

Shadow Minister for the Illawarra Greg Pearce today said Noreen Hay’s decision to ask a ‘dorothy-dixer’ in Parliament yesterday about the Easter racing carnival, instead of an important issue affecting residents in the Illawarra region, shows the Illawarra Labor MPs are completely out of touch with the local community.
