Will the real opposition please stand up?

The Greens are giving the Labor Party a run for their money, delivering the only alternative budget.

While the Government wholeheartedly disagrees with the direction the Greens want to take Tasmania, they must receive some credit for behaving more like an opposition than the weak Labor Party.

The Labor Opposition failed to deliver an alternative Budget yesterday – against the will of the Parliament – with it now more than 4,000 days since the official opposition released an alternative budget.  

Unable to present a plan for the cost of living, health, housing or protecting children from harm, the Labor Party have been exposed for the faux alternative government they are. 

Further, the Leader of the Labor Party struggled to mention these key priorities for Tasmanians in his reply. 

While the Greens alternative Budget was their typical brutal attack on hardworking Tasmanians – it was at least consistent with what we’ve seen over and over again. 

That is, the Greens want to kill off our primary industries, kill off investment opportunities, and kill off jobs. 

It might be more of the same from the Greens, but at least Tasmanians know where they stand. 

Only the Tasmanian Liberal Government, through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, will deliver on the things that matter most to Tasmanians and make life more affordable.
