Guy Barnett, Treasurer
The Labor Party has once again shown it can't be trusted after voting in favour of new and increased taxes and charges on Tasmanians.
Labor has abandoned hardworking Tasmanian families by sensationally supporting Independent MP Kristie Johnston’s motion in Parliament today which calls on the government to increase taxes and charges.
The Labor supported motion calls for legislation to increase taxes and charges.
It is clear Ms Johnston is leading Labor by the nose, with Labor's treasury spokesman Josh Willie being dictated to by his extreme left rival.
The Tasmanian Liberal Government opposed the motion because we vehemently oppose new and increased taxes.
Labor's only plan for Tasmania is to hike up taxes and charges, including by maximising government business profits.
The Opposition Leader's support for this motion shows you can't trust Labor.
