On 3 March 2015, the Premier told the Parliament that there would be no additional savings measures in the upcoming 2015-16 Budget, a statement that was well reported at the time by the media.
Once again, I can confirm that is this Government’s firm position. We will continue to apply a disciplined approach to managing the Budget with responsible spending commitments and will not undo all the progress of the past 12 months.
What Labor and the unions are doing today is simply scaremongering.
This is Labor and the union’s modus operandi, another day, another scare.
We are determined to fix the budget mess that we inherited from the Labor-Green Government and to put the budget back on track to surplus.
We are also committed to funding the Tasmanian Government’s contribution of $134 million for the full six years of the Gonski education reforms.
