In short:
Tasmania will spend a record $5.1 billion on infrastructure over the next four years, which the treasurer says is a balanced decision to support jobs.
A recent review of the state’s finances questioned the size of its public infrastructure program — larger than all other states and territories — and warned it may be unaffordable.
What’s next?
The state budget will be handed down in full on Thursday September 12, foreshadowed by concerns about cuts to public services.
Here we go. A Strong plan for endless debt and economic collapse. Against all good advice. #nonewstadium https://t.co/hTXlsNSode
