Labor hasn’t changed

In an eerie case of déjà vu, Labor has edited its Leader’s Budget in Reply Speech - removing a number of telling references.

The original speech was swiftly removed soon after being uploaded.

The second version uploaded later removed the statement “Labor has changed’, along with Mr Winter claiming, “I’ve said we’ve changed, and I mean it.”

It seems Labor hasn’t changed. 

And Mr Winter knows it.

The second version also removes a claim Mr Winter’s ten-point plan "will save at least $150m".

Mr Winter’s reluctance to quote figures is understandable, given Labor's track record of having to retract and alter its budget promises given they didn’t add up.

It’s no wonder Mr Winter ignored Parliament’s calls to deliver an alternative Budget. 

The original speech is available here.
