Eric Abetz, Leader of the House
Dean Winter has delivered the worst Budget reply in Tasmania's history.
Winter’s budget reply was so hollow that it is quicker to outline what it didn’t include.
It didn’t include a pathway to surplus, any budget costings, an alternative budget, a vision or a plan.
Labor's leader is so weak he didn't even rule out new or increased taxes, but he had time to chastise the crossbench.
But at least, he is proud of himself.
Labor will never change.
Labor's hapless leader is loose with the truth - he can't even be honest with Tasmanians about where he was born, so how can anyone trust him.
Our Government is building a better Tasmania, now and for the future, while the Labor party talks down investments in our regional communities, fights against keeping Tasmanians employed, and has nothing to offer but negativity.
