"South Australian Premier Mike Rann today joined other Premiers and Chief Ministers in officially signing up to the Rudd Government’s $41.5 billion economic stimulus package.
Mr Rann told the Prime Minister that South Australia was ready to get moving on a slate of projects.
“The economic wreckage in Britain, Europe, the United States and even Asia caused by the global financial crisis means that it is critically important to crank up economic activity as rapidly as possible,” Mr Rann said.
“All of us today were united in our resolve.
“For Australia, tackling the global financial crisis must be viewed as the economic equivalent of wartime. It’s a war we have to win to save Australian jobs.
“South Australia will appoint a Coordinator-General, with special powers, to oversee the roll-out of infrastructure projects large and small."
