State Liberals have not learned from Tony Abott's woes, Labor Leader Bryan Green says.
Bryan Green
IF THERE is one lesson to be taken from Tony Abbott's plummeting political fortunes, it is that people cannot stand governments that say one thing before the election and either fail to deliver, or worse, do the exact opposite of what they promised.
I acknowledge that Labor still has a lot of work to do to rebuild trust with the community.
We got the message loud and clear from our election loss.
But the difference between Labor and the current Tasmanian Liberal government is that we are listening and learning from our own experiences.
Will Hodgman, on the other hand, doesn't appear to be listening at all.
In fact, he seems intent on repeating the mistakes of Tony Abbott and the recently deposed Liberal government in Victoria.
There were two glaring examples of the Tasmanian Liberals' duplicity during last week's government business enterprise hearings.

Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Congress will vote this week on a $1.1 trillion spending plan that would avert a U.S. government shutdown as Democrats agreed to roll back rules affecting banks, clean water and rest for truckers. Peter Cook reports on In The Loop. (Source: Bloomberg)
Congress will vote this week on a $1.1 trillion spending plan that would avert a U.S. government shutdown as Democrats agreed to roll back rules affecting banks, clean water and rest for truckers.
The House will vote on the plan tomorrow, Speaker John Boehner told reporters today. The Ohio Republican said he looks forward to it passing with bipartisan majorities in the House and the Senate in the coming days.
The deal was announced late yesterday after Democrats accepted Republican demands to ease regulations including the banking provision, a significant victory for big banks. It lets JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Citigroup Inc. (C) and other lenders keep swaps trading in units with federal backstops.
The measure is a compromise that can and should have wide bipartisan support, House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, a Kentucky Republican, said in a statement yesterday. Passage of this bill will show our people that we can and will govern responsibly.
While Democrats arent pleased about the policy changes, they said they beat back dozens of other provisions that Republicans had sought in the measure.
This agreement means no government shutdown and no government on autopilot, said Senate Appropriations Chair Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, a Democrat who negotiated the plan with Rogers.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, said earlier today that if the House included the District of Columbia marijuana provision in the bill, its going to be hard to take it out over here. But I oppose it. Close
