Tasmanians don't trust Jeremy Rockliff to run government businesses after his massive stuff up with the Spirits.
And Jeremy Rockliff has now confirmed that he rushed out his dodgy state-run insurance scheme without any Treasury advice or a proper business case.
Independent Economist Saul Eslake isn't the only one 'gobsmacked by the Liberals policy" labelling it nothing but a " recipe for losing money"
Tasmanian owned Insurance company RACT has also raised concerns about the government proposing "to use the MAIB balance sheet fund this activity" which is supposed to be there to look after Tasmanians not "a payday lender for the government…"
Tasmania has already seen the consequences of serious stuff-ups with state-owned companies, with the Spirit of Tasmania fiasco costing taxpayers more than $500 million.
This latest reckless thought bubble has the potential to be even more costly and must be submitted to Treasury for costing immediately.
Tasmanians deserve better than last-minute announcements driven by political desperation. It's time for a Fresh Start.
