THE Liberals’ Brendan Smyth is making merry with recent data on the ACT’s economic performance.
“The lack of economic planning from the ACT Labor government is continuing to rear its ugly head with the Territory economy slumping from third to sixth worst Australian economy. Today’s State of the States report from Commsec also warns the ACT could slip further,” Brendan said today.
“Today’s report is yet another indicator showing the government has failed to diversify the economy over the past 12 years of ACT Labor. It’s a damning indictment on Andrew Barr who has upheld the government’s lack of action in building the local business community and attracting investment.”
One might imagine that once doom and gloom in the public service has concluded things will pick up.
