Just having an Act does not achieve anything. Ultimately, it all comes down to implementation of the Act. That's where this Govt. is making a difference.

Government is responsible for maintaining financial discipline and they are entitled to claim credit if they achieve it - who will be blamed if the targets are not achieved?
