The Premier has confirmed that 2,500 public service jobs will be cut to try and balance the budget. 2,500 Tasmanians will be sent to the unemployment to pay for the stadium.
Yesterday in Question Time the Premier confirmed 2500 public service jobs will be cut to pay for the stadium.
Tasmanians know our small state can't afford a new stadium, and they understand the money to pay for it has to come from somewhere.
Today the Greens have announced that in balance of power we will fight to make sure there are no cuts to the public service workforce.
You are the ones who are tearing down the reputation of the Tasmanian Planning Commission. Out he goes. He does not want to listen to this, for the record.
The Greens have made repeated calls for the Rockliff Government to scrap their plans to relocate Heritage Tasmania northern office staff and commend them for their change of heart.
There is significant concern about the Budget; that is really clear. It is driving concern about specific spending initiatives - projects like the stadium, for example, cuts...
As much as the government want us all to believe they are doing the right thing, Tasmanians see through their propaganda.
The evidence is clear. Cuts to any part of the public service will impact services Tasmanians rely on and undermine our institutions.
The Greens are fundamentally opposed to the disturbing agenda the Liberals have laid out, and we will be fighting tooth and nail to make sure they do not get their way.
