Most Tasmanians would like to forget that the incompetent Labor-Green alliance was ever in Government, but few have done as well as Cassy O’Connor in erasing their memories of that dismal period.
Ms O’Connor has called the 2014-15 budget “the only explanation” for issues in Child Protection in 2013-14. The problem with this analysis is that last year’s budget was released several months after the 2013-14 year ended.
Ms O’Connor has clearly forgotten that she was the Human Services Minister when the 2013-14 budget was brought down.
The appalling performance of the previous Labor-Green government is the reason we took to the election a commitment to, and acknowledgment of, the need for a major cultural shift in child protection.
Jacquie Petrusma, Minister for Human Services
