Labor Exposed Over Alternative Budget Claims

The Labor-Green Government has no credibility when it comes to providing alternative responses to the budget.

Despite claiming that they always provided alternative budgets in response to budgets brought down by the Rundle and Groom Governments, Labor's last budget reply was a three page so-called "alternative fiscal strategy" and a two-page press release regurgitating the same information, provided by then Shadow Treasurer David Crean in 1998. The Liberals will provide a strong alternate budget next week, as we always do.
