Labor-Green policies up for sale

Labor and the Greens need to reveal which policies they will negotiate away in the event of a hung parliament following the March 20 election.

Yesterday Greens leader Nick McKim, when asked if he was prepared to shift on any of his policies in the event of a hung parliament, made the extraordinary admission:

“Yes”.

So which so-called promises of Mr McKim’s are up of sale?

And which Labor promises will Mr Bartlett dump in a bid to secure the support of Mr McKim?

Or will Labor and the Greens keep all their promises – currently combined at over $800 million – bankrupting the state?

Only the Liberals can form majority.

Only the Liberals will not do a deal with the Greens.

Only the Liberals’ election promises are rock-solid and will be delivered in full.

The choice on election day is between a Hodgman Liberal Majority Government that will deliver real change, or a Labor-Green minority government that will not deliver on their promises.
