Liberals delivering real action, Labor tries the same con-job again

The Rockliff Liberal Govermment is getting things done to deliver lower power prices for Tasmanians. 

“Under our plan, both now and in the future, Tasmanians will always pay among the lowest power prices in the nation,” the Treasurer said.

“We have the most generous electricity concessions of any State and we’ve also got among the lowest regulated power prices in the country.

“Labor’s so-called power price cap is a con-job that is unaffordable and undeliverable.

“In fact, Labor tried the exact same thing on at the 2010 election (5% price cap guarantee) – only to ignore it when they were re-elected in partnership with the Greens.

"It was a hoax then and is a hoax again now.

“Unlike Labor’s false promises, we’ll continue to deliver real action on power prices for Tasmanians, as we’ve done from day one."
