Bligh has repeatedly said the budget is under pressure.

The Opposition's Tim Nicholls today told Parliament the Treasury has ordered department heads to make big cutbacks to avoid a budget deficit.

"Has the under-treasurer been talking to director generals about making sure there's no fat out there that shouldn't be getting trimmed? Of course he has," she said.

Earlier today, a parliamentary committee found the Premier should not be disciplined for not declaring a controversial holiday at a friend's house in Sydney because she did not know it broke the rules.
