Winter’s Grab For Power
The Leader of the Opposition has admitted to blowing up the Parliament in an attempt to remove his biggest challenge to becoming Premier.
Mr Winter has spent all week claiming that his reason for doing a deal with the Greens and bringing down the Government was because of the Budget.
Yesterday on ABC Radio, he said the Budget “was the trigger that he used to initiate change” and that claims he targeted Mr Rockliff were “semantics”.
In the following sentence, he admitted that the Parliament would have passed the Budget if there had been another Premier in the Chair.
This demonstrates that his deal with the Greens was only to remove the Premier for his own benefit, and had nothing to do with the Budget.
Mr Winter referenced that he was “inspired by Premier Malinauskas” at the same time the SA Labor Government handed down a budget with $50 billion in debt.
Dean’s selfish grab for power this week has thrust Tasmania into a state of uncertainty and instability, just for his own ego trip.
All he cares about is himself.
He will say and do anything to grab power.
He cannot be trusted.
They are not fit to govern.
