The Coalition has today released a book listing the top 50 examples of Labor waste and mismanagement since the overnight coup that installed Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.
The little book of big Labor waste shows that waste and mismanagement was not just a feature of the Rudd Labor Government; it is also a hallmark of the Gillard Labor Government.
At the top of the list is the $6.6 billion blow out in the immigration portfolio thanks to Labor’s failed border protection policies. This is closely followed by the $3.2 billion blow out in the NBN roll-out. These policy failures alone add up to over $9 billion!
Under the Gillard leadership, we have also seen multi-million dollar donations to unions, ballooning administration costs to deliver programs, growing advertising costs to sell policies Labor promised they would not introduce, like the carbon tax, staff blow outs, rising market research costs, expensive office plants and gold-plated coffee machines.
As the waste piles up, so does the debt.
In 2007, Labor inherited a government with a $20 billion budget surplus and net worth totalling $70 billion. We now have a government with $147.3 billion of net debt, equalling 10% of GDP, and $172 billion worth of budget deficits.
Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan might talk about budget surpluses and spending cuts, but they only deliver budget deficits and more spending. In fact, despite all the rhetoric of fiscal restraint, spending remains higher as a percentage of GDP today than the last year of the Howard Government, and will remain higher over the forward estimates.
Labor continues to make lavish promises with no idea on how to fund them, with estimates showing there to be $120 billion of unfunded promises.
Under the leadership of Julia Gillard, there are only prospects of more spending, more waste and more debt.
Just as a leopard never changes its spots – Labor never stops wasting taxpayers’ money.
