Jeremy Rockliff and Michael Ferguson have zero credibility when it comes to managing the state budget.
When the Liberals came to office 10 years ago, Tasmania had $200 million in the bank. After 10 years, the Liberals have driven Tasmania into $6.1 billion of debt.
Under Jeremy Rockliff and Michael Ferguson’s budget deficits are breaking records every year and are now 50% worse today than at the peak of COVID.
The Liberals have completely made up Labor spending figures which no one should take seriously.
Tasmanian Labor are serious about turning around the Liberal party’s Budget mess. This election campaign Tasmanian Labor have steadfastly stuck to a sustainable funding window by identifying savings and offsets while investing in policies that will result in long term savings.
Tasmanian Labor will release our full costings on Thursday.
Unlike the Liberals, our policies are all about delivering a better future for Tasmania, with urgent action on cost of living and housing.

Shadow Treasurer
