The former Leader of the Opposition Dean Winter has made a stunning admission on the Poll Position podcast, labelling tax increases as "inevitable".
Mr Winter was clear as day arguing that Tasmanian families must be slugged with higher taxes.
Treasurer Eric Abetz said Mr Winter has finally said the quiet part out loud.
"Under Labor, Tasmanians and their families will always pay more," the Treasurer said.
"While our Liberal Government is focused on driving public sector efficiencies, Mr Winter is already reaching for the wallets of hardworking families.
"Despite campaigning on a platform of no new taxes, Mr Winter has used the first available opportunity to complete a stunning backflip.
"Make no mistake, it is in Labor's DNA to come after your hard earned dollars."
