Nothing to see here...#politas

Treasurer Ferguson was having a bad week. Then he delivered the biggest deficit in history with nothing to show for it except an economy flatlining, public services at breaking point and record numbers of working age Tasmanians leaving for better opportunities elsewhere. #politas

Do the state JLN MPs back Senator Lambie's call for Minister Ferguson to resign over the monumental TT Line stuff up or do they back Minister Ferguson? They've gone to ground - so much for transparency and accountability. I made sure they're asked again today. #politas

It's a very reasonable question which they still refuse to answer. Just spin on 7 News tonight. If not accountability and transparency, what is the point of the Jacqui Lambie Network? They may as well be Liberal MPs. #politas

How long before they split up? abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1… #politas

Jacqui Lambie Network interview with Leon Compton this morning. #politas

On ABC radio this morning, Jacqui Lambie Network MP Andrew Jenner said he would block the budget if it contained cuts to frontline services. Spoiler alert - it will. Treasurer Ferguson has completely lost control of the state's finances and the budget process. #politas

Tell me the government is heading in the wrong direction, without telling me the government is heading in the wrong direction. #politas

Don't believe the spin, the Liberal Lambie Coalition are scaling back the Royal Hobart Hospital Emergency Department redevelopment due to budget constraints. That's code for health cuts. Patients and health workers deserve better. HACSU Tasmania #politas

The Libs quietly back flipping on their northern prison project late on a Friday afternoon? Just like the TT Line monumental stuff up, it was a total debacle from start to not finished. #politas

'National headwinds' says Treasurer Ferguson. Fact check: Tasmania was the only jurisdiction to record a decline in employment. The Premier said minority government would crash jobs during the election. Looks like he was right. #politas themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/…

What he really means is, it's a bit like paying for your Sunday roast with the credit card and then when the credit card bill is due, you get another credit card to pay it off. Absolutely no shame. #politas

For future reference... #politas

Water off a duck's back - I'll keep holding the Liberals to account. The Premier is a hypocrite though. He's made a virtue of not name calling when he sanctions it and has been known to do it himself. #politas

Apparently Guy Barnett didn't want to be the Treasurer. So far, he's showing no sign of understanding the task at hand or being a responsible budget manager. #politas

Labor’s plan to repair Tasmania’s broken budget has received a major boost today, with the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) formally backing our strategy and signing a Memorandum of Understanding to participate in a Budget Repair Roundtable. #politas

When I was a primary school teacher back in 2015, we spent more than two hours teaching literacy and numeracy each day. How disconnected from schools have the Liberals become?! It's time for a fresh start. #politas
