A review into the state’s finances recommended that the government consider selling state assets such as Goprint in order to generate $3 billion of savings in the next three years.

Goprint acting general manager Scott Albury told ProPrint he was unable to comment on anything to do with government policy.

However, Minister for Housing and Public Works Bruce Flegg told ProPrint that no sale was currently planned.

“Goprint, along with a number of other government-owned business units, was named in the report as a potential source of savings,” he said.

“However, the Newman government has reaffirmed its commitment not to sell any state assets without first seeking a mandate from the people of Queensland… At this stage Goprint is operating on a business-as-usual basis.

“There has been a decline in the amount of print work undertaken since the election as the government looks to identify savings.”

Premier Newman ordered the Peter Costello-led review after winning the March election.

Goprint’s main business is parliamentary work such as bills, acts, legislation, Hansard and tabled documents.

The 60-person operation celebrated its 150th anniversary in February.
