Jeremy Rockliff’s reckless spending has to stop.

The failed Premier has embarked on such a desperate spending spree in the final days of his campaign that he may as well change his name to Jeremy Pork-liff.

Rockliff has already spent hundreds and hundreds of millions this campaign in a blatant attempt to buy votes, and it’s widely speculated we’ll see more of his chequebook in the next 24 hours.

The Liberals have been in government for 11 years. Why is it only in the final week of an election campaign that issues get any attention?

This sort of pork-barrelling is exactly how the Liberals wrecked the budget in the first place. It’s desperate, it’s reckless, and it needs to be called out.

Labor has put forward the most comprehensive fiscal plan of any opposition in Tasmania’s history, outlining a billion dollars of savings. In contrast, the Liberals have no savings plan. The only plan they have is a plan to bankrupt Tasmania.

After 11 years of the Liberals, it’s time for a fresh start, and the best way to make that happen is to vote Labor.
