Labor back in bed with the Greens

The Labor Opposition is back in bed with the Greens planning to trash Tasmanian democracy and entrench big brother Government in the State.

Dean Winter’s plans to have a politburo of bureaucrats review and strike out election commitments should send a shiver through the community.

It’s up to Tasmanian voters to decide how their money is spent, not unelected government employees.

The Government is elected to govern, not to have its election commitments buried by red tape and outsourced to unelected, unaccountable officials.

Democratically elected members of Parliament should not be the ventriloquist dolls of bureaucrats. 

Its no surprise Mr Winter is already walking back on his latest thought bubble, refusing to say if he will seek to bring this undemocratic Labor-Greens policy on this term.

The only safe, secure jobs Mr Winter is really interested in is growing an army of all-powerful, unelected government employees making decisions that Tasmania’s elected representatives are there to deliver on behalf of voters.
