Liberal ministers continue dodging questions
Labor Leader Bryan Green today accused Liberal Government ministers of ducking for cover to avoid questioning by the media over important issues.
“Whenever there are questions ministers don’t want to answer they hide behind a Government spokesperson,” Mr Green said.
“Attributing responses to spokesmen and spokeswomen is becoming the norm.
“It is almost impossible to get straight answers from this Government.
“We saw it again yesterday when a spokeswoman responded to questions over Qantas’s commitment to call centre jobs in Tasmania instead of the Premier.”
Mr Green called on Government ministers to be more accountable.
“It should not be left to behind the scenes advisors to concoct responses on behalf of ministers,” Mr Green said.
