Peter Gutwein has failed to justify plunging the state into more than one billion dollars' worth of debt with claims that a record amount is being spent on infrastructure.
Shadow Infrastructure Minister, Shane Broad, said that the Premiers claims of a record infrastructure spend are blatantly untrue considering many infrastructure projects have been plagued by delays or are yet to get off the ground.
"Peter Gutwein has failed to spend almost a quarter of the infrastructure budget every year for the last six years," Dr Broad said.
"While the Liberals continue to boast a record infrastructure spend, the truth is they have neither the will nor the skill to deliver the large infrastructure projects that are so crucial to state growth and job creation, including the Bridgewater Bridge, the Royal Hobart Hospital and the new TT-Line vessels.
"It's clear Tasmania's new Premier has no infrastructure agenda, other than what was dreamed up by the embattled leadership wannabe, Michael Ferguson.
"Peter Gutwein is plunging the state into unsustainable debt and has no major infrastructure project to show for it.
"Tasmanians deserve a Government that plans for the future and delivers."
