In a desperate attempt to attack Labor, Treasurer Guy Barnett has kicked a huge own goal and trashed what little remains of his fiscal credibility.

The Treasurer claimed that Tasmania’s debt levels are manageable, and that he has a “clear plan” to return to surplus by 2029-2030.

If that’s the case, can the Treasurer please explain why the minority Liberal Government has embarked on a fire-sale of Tasmania’s state-owned assets to pay down its record debt?

The Liberals can’t have it both ways.
