Labor’s latest fake news won’t help a single Tasmanian.
Desperate to conceal the fact they have no long-term plan for Tasmania, Labor’s fearmongering is in overdrive.
Their continued attempts to create uncertainty and spread fear within the Tasmanian community shows they are not fit to govern.
While we’re delivering our plan about the things that matter to Tasmanians, Labor are spending their days whipping up fear, and creating uncertainty and anxiety within the community.
And Labor have form on this – it’s in their DNA.
They are renowned for spreading false stories about the health system, like the time Ms White tried to score cheap political points by claiming a patient had been “strapped to a spine board” for seven hours, which she later had to retract because it was wrong.
Or the time Labor’s Ms Dow said there was a “disturbingly high number of deaths on arrival at our hospitals compared with other States” – which was also untrue.
Unlike Labor we don’t close hospital wards or lock away beds, we are investing record amounts in our health system.
This week, they are using Parliament to spread fake rumours about the supposed privatisation of Metro, even though the Transport Minister has publicly ruled it out.
And Ms White has form on this sort of deceit. During the last election campaign this is exactly what Labor did.
They started fake scare campaigns claiming the government would privatise the Hydro, and TAFE.
It didn’t happen. Labor lied.
The really deceitful part was that Labor was using unsolicited robocall phone calls, complete with computer-generated voices, with so-called “surveys” trying to scare Tasmanians into believing this was going to happen.
The opening statements of the robocall were presented as facts, but they were simply untrue.
Making up a fake scare campaign, based on rumour and innuendo, to try to justify whatever you want to say is no substitute for having a long-term plan and a properly-costed alternative budget.
Tasmanians know they can’t believe Labor promises, and they deserve more than Labor’s constant rumor-mongering and fake news.
