Embarrassing email gaffe reveals Labor deliberately playing politics with pandemic

Sarah Courtney,Minister for Tourism, Hospitality and Events

An embarrassing email gaffe yesterday from Labor Leader Rebecca White’s chief of staff has exposed their shameful politicising of the pandemic and clearly demonstrates they don’t have a position on our border reopening plan.

Included in a response to a media release calling for Labor to support the Government’s safe plan to reopen our borders, Labor’s chief of staff stated:

“If we want to go harder we could say that we support reopening when it is safe to do so but to say they have a plan is a stretch”.

This is further proof that Labor is grasping at straws for a shred of relevance, and that Rebecca White’s leadership is driven by desperately “going harder” on the Government. No plans. No policies.

Labor must once and for all cease their reckless politicking and support our plan for reopening on December 15.

For the sake of these businesses and hard-working Tasmanians who have been through an incredibly tough time, we simply cannot sit on our hands which is precisely what Labor is doing
