Rosalie Woodruff, Huon Valley Councillor and Greens candidate for Franklin asked today why Labor is spending over $10 billion on tax breaks for huge mining companies, instead of spending it here in Franklin.
“Labor will spend $10 billion in this year’s Budget, to support big mining companies finding and burning polluting fuels like coal, oil and gas.
“That’s equivalent to $66 million for every electorate in the country that could have been spent in the community. The people of Franklin were looking for more,” said Rosalie Woodruff.
“Labor should have helped save single parents from living in poverty, instead of prioritising support for mining companies.
“Single parents in Franklin are doing it tough and Gina, Clive and Twiggy are not.”
“We can’t trust Labor to take care of our community and Tony Abbott would give even more to the mining lobby.
“The Greens are the only ones in Parliament fighting for people and the environment.”
