South Australian (SA) Treasurer Rob Lucas has called Labor’s policies in the lead-up to the March election a “reckless spending spree”, saying SA families and businesses would end up paying for it.
According to Lucas, Labor Leader Peter Malinauskas has refused to disclose how he will pay for all the promises, which Lucas says have now come to $3 billion, warning that Labor’s “unprecedented level of spending is now the single biggest risk to our state’s finances and our economic recovery as we emerge from the global pandemic.”
