Dear Editor,
Claims by former Labor Minister David Llewellyn that he would not support a power sharing agreement with the Greens are fanciful.
Labor and the Greens are joined at the hip. Mr Llewellyn personally signed the Labor/Green Accord, a power sharing agreement, of 1989 – 1992, some of the darkest days in Tasmania’s economic history.
In addition Mr Llewellyn said soon after the 2010 election where he was ousted from Parliament, that Labor Premier Bartlett should seriously consider a “robust discussion” with the Greens regarding a power sharing arrangement.
Mr Llewellyn’s new claims that he won’t be party to a power sharing agreement with the Greens can’t be believed. His track record of working and being in bed with the Greens is there for all to see.
I am prepared to take on Mr Llewellyn and any Labor MP’s or candidates because they remain in power to satisfy the Greens at the expense of our economy and our state.
