Labor’s spin machine is out of control, peppering the nation’s inboxes with press releases full of loose-truthed weasel words and outright lies.
The facts - all Coalition commitments are fully funded. Every single project announced by local candidates and MPs are fully funded and accounted for in our costings.
Why would anyone believe Labor proclamations when these are the people who wasted up to $8 billion on school halls, presided over the pink batt fiasco, and are currently borrowing $100 million a day to pay for their pork barrels?
We have put on record a 35 per cent reduction in debt by 2013-14.
The Coalition’s fully costed and fully funded plans will deliver a Budget surplus of $6.2 billion in 2012-13.
All projects announced by candidates are funded from a range of Coalition initiatives, including:
- The Coalition’s Funding Boost for the Better Regions Programme
- The Coalition’s Community Health Fund
- The Coalition’s National Community Crime Prevention Programme
- The Coalition’s Domestic Tourism Development Grants
- The Coalition’s Building Tourism Infrastructure Fund
- The Coalition’s Green Army Initiative
- The Coalition’s Solar Schools initiative
- The Coalition’s Additional funding for AusLink/Nation Building
Unlike Labor’s record of broken promises, the Coalition will deliver on its commitments.
The only thing on the record for Labor is a series of economic failures.
We confirmed yesterday how we will stop the waste, repay the debt and stop the new taxes. All Labor confirmed is they’ll do anything to steal an election.
