The Premier, Will Hodgman, was not across the basic detail of his government’s budget or even his own portfolios during budget estimates today.

“Today’s performance will leave Tasmanians wondering whether Will Hodgman is up to the job,” Labor Deputy Leader Michelle O’Byrne said.

“The Premier relied on scripted attack lines and seemed completely lost and even confused when answering questions of detail.

“The Premier could not answer simple questions about changes in GST forecasts during the morning session.

“He spent the afternoon reading from briefing notes and deferring to his advisers on basic questions in Sport and Recreation and Tourism.

“Today the Premier looked flat and out of his depth.”
