Labor’s power promise: a big fat Labor lie

 

Labor's power promise is nothing more than a big fat Labor lie.

It’s time the shadow Treasurer Dr Broad was released from witness protection to answer some basic questions about his magic money tree.

Promising $400 new subsidies to the bills of 289,000 residential and small business customers every year won't be a one off cost of $50 million as Labor dishonestly claim.

It would cost more than double that, and blow a half a billion dollar hole in the budget.

Basic maths tells you that Labor’s figures just don’t add up and is a complete hoax which simply can’t be afforded without them either cutting essential services, such as health and raising taxes.

Labor’s power price "cap" remains totally uncosted and unfunded.

The last time Labor promised a price cap it never happened - their Treasurer admitted it was nothing more than a ‘cruel hoax’.

Same old Labor.

Only a majority Rockliff Liberal Government with our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future will continue to deliver the nation’s lowest regulated power prices and real cost of living relief.
