And why is the Gillard Government politicising Treasury by getting them to do this work?
They have established the impartial Parliamentary Budget Office to do this analysis.
Lynne darling, less drinking in the morning:
Quote:Treasury's responsibility for costing opposition policies in the lead-up to elections has been transferred to the new Parliamentary Budget Office, but it still maintains a watching brief on behalf of the government.
Treasury did this work, not the Parliamentary Budget Office.
Why didn't Swan and Wong get the Parliamentary Budget Office to do it?
Why do you think Treasury an arm of the public service is not apolitical?
Is Tony going to sack everyone in Treasury if he wins?
Cant have Labor termites in the ranks can we?
Oh & Coalition doesn't does trust the Parliamentry Budget office
Quote:Today’s appointment of Mr Phillip Bowen as the inaugural head of Australia’s first Parliamentary Budget Office means the Opposition has run out of excuses for not giving Australians properly costed policies.
Yet just this afternoon, Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey said he would only give “some policies” to the PBO.
This is despite saying earlier this month that he wanted to submit the Opposition’s policies to the Parliamentary Budget Office.
HOCKEY: ... we want to submit policies to it. In addition to other services, we want to submit policies to it for costing.

Keep bending over & sticking your head in the sand Shane, if you don't see it the ramming won't be as bad.
