SA Budget cuts

From the South Australia Budget (Government, not User Groups)...

http://www.treasury.sa.gov.au/custom/files/200609/2006-2007%20Budget%20Statement.pdf
Chapter 2, page 2.22.
(page 50 of 236)

"A significant savings measure arising from the Review of Priorities is the proposed abolition
of the Department for Administrative and Information Services....."

I wonder what kind of effect this will have on SA.
