Willie's $300m Blackhole Blunder

Liberal Tasmania
  • Simon Behrakis Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, Parliamentary Secretary for Housing and Planning, Member for Clark
  • Josh Willie was all at sea during his press conference this morning, failing to justify his hundreds of millions of missing costings.

    He repeatedly failed to answer questions on missing policy costings.

    He was asked why some of Labor's commitments about Parks and Wildlife funding, school and mental health funding, or even their key policy RenewTas, were not included in his costings.

    He was then asked multiple times why Labor's TV commercial promises school sports vouchers every year, but aren't costed.

    He didn't answer the question.

    He couldn't answer anything.

    Willie famously said in Parliament that GST was beyond his level of financial understanding.

    It seems policy costings are too.

    It's little wonder Labor waited till 4 July to start drip feeding policies to Treasury.

    What is clear is Labor will increase taxes and charges.

    Just like last time: they'll make you pay.
