THE Premier, Barry O'Farrell, has announced the discovery of a $4.5 billion hole in the budget hours after taking office, and accused Labor of ''cooking the books like never before'' to hide the true financial position of the state. In one of the first signs of a shake-up to the senior ranks of the public service following the election, the secretary of the Treasury, Michael Schur, has been sent on ''immediate leave'' while an audit of the state's finances is carried out by Michael Lambert, a former Treasury secretary.
