Jeremy Rockliff has spent over a billion dollars of taxpayer money on his bungled Spirits replacement project.

He’s forgotten to build a wharf to berth the new ships, and the new one he is building won’t be ready until 2027. The project will be six years delayed and $500 million over budget.

He’s provided two secret bailout payments to the Finnish ship builder worth nearly $100 million.

He’s completely reneged on his local content promise, claiming Finnish engines as local content and spent a further $1.8 million of taxpayers money hiding Spirit IV in Scotland.

Today, he’s taken the fiasco to new depths by confirming he’s in active negotiations to turn Spirit IV into a floating refugee camp.

If Jeremy Rockliff can’t deliver the Spirits or manage the budget, he can’t lead Tasmania.
