Tasmanians paying for 13 years of Liberal waste

The Rockliff-Abetz budget confirms what Tasmanians have been warned about for months.

Premier Rockliff has put Treasurer Abetz in charge of cutting jobs and services to pay for 13 years of Liberal waste.

Almost 2,000 jobs are on the chopping block, and at least $1.5 billion is being ripped from the essential services Tasmanians rely on.

There are more than $700 million in health cuts alone. 

This is a conservative Government, led by Australia’s arch conservative Treasurer, handing down a slash and burn budget that attacks core public services.

The Rockliff-Abetz budget tells patients, students, teachers, nurses, families and working people that they are the ones who will pay for 13 years of Liberal waste.

Next election, Tasmanians will have a choice – a conservative Liberal Government led by Treasurer Abetz and his cuts agenda, or a Labor Party that will fight for hospitals, schools, working people and everyday Tasmanians.
