Barnett continues to let industry down

Tasmanian Labor

Minister for Resources Guy Barnett continues to let down Tasmania’s key industries and demonstrate that he is not up to the job.

Shadow Minister for Resources Shane Broad said Minister Barnett had failed to support industry time and time again.

“In recent weeks we have seen Minster Barnett fail to back his previous wood supply guarantees, backflip on his “no more forest lockups” promises, adopt the Greens’ salmon policy and today it has been revealed that he acted beyond his Ministerial powers,” Dr Broad said.

“Tasmania’s resource sector is vital to the state’s economy and needs a Minister that is up to the job, not one that is incompetent.”
