Shadow Health Minister Rebecca White today called on the Tasmanian Liberal Government to say where it stands on Tony Abbott’s GP tax.
“The question Tasmanians want answered is whether the State Liberals are going to be apologists for this tricky tax or stand up to Tony Abbott,” Ms White said.
“It is a simple question: Do Will Hodgman and Michael Ferguson agree with what the Abbott Government is trying to do?
“Tasmanians deserve an answer.
“If they don’t agree, what are they going to do about it?
“Tony Abbott has shown he will back down if he thinks there will be a voter backlash, so it’s up to Mr Hodgman and Mr Ferguson to convince him this is the wrong way to go.
“Labor does not support the amendments the Abbott Government has announced because it still undermines Australians universal health care system and will mean many people will be required to pay more to see a GP.”
