Today’s Pre-election Financial Outlook from independent Treasury officials confirms no change from the Revised Estimates Report released earlier this month.

Importantly, it highlights how important it is that parties have sensible, costed and fully funded election commitments – as we do, and unlike Labor.

Labor needs to provide each and every one of its policies for immediate independent costing, not at three minutes to midnight on election eve.

The small variation in the employment outlook underlines just how vital it is to re-elect a strong majority Liberal Government to provide the stability and certainty our business sector needs.

The report also confirms the importance of the Rockliff Liberal Government’s cap on public spending allocated to the Mac Point stadium. As the Premier has said, we will not be paying a cent more than the $375 million currently allocated to the project.

It also highlights the damage done to the budget during the last Labor-Green government by Labor’s $1.5 billion dollar raid on the State’s superannuation fund.

Tasmania simply cannot afford a Labor-led Coalition of Chaos which would once again drive our public finances into the ground and smash the State’s economy.
