Liberals – Desperate last minute Labor scare campaign on PBS

Desperate last minute Labor scare campaign on PBS
19/08/10

Labor are desperately lying at the last minute about the effect of the Coalition’s spending management measures upon the PBS.
Contrary to Labor’s false claims:
There will be no change to the PBS;
These measures will not increase the costs of pharmaceuticals to seniors;
These measures will not remove or alter current access to drugs on the PBS;
The price of drugs to pensioners will remain the same. There is no change to the co-contribution scheme; and,
There will be no change to the arrangements recently agreed between the Government and the industry.
The increased income in the Coalition’s financial statement brings to account income not recognised by the Government in their forward estimates.
Just because Labor asserts something in this campaign, doesn’t make it true.
Only the Coalition has outlined a plan to get back to surplus and to reduce Labor’s massive $90 billion debt by 35 percent by 2013-14.
Labor has no economic plan, other than to spread lies and run a negative smear campaign.
Australians should brace themselves for a lot more of this negative smear right until 6pm on Saturday.

    “Labor has no economic plan, other than to spread lies and run a negative smear campaign” well, i suppose this was still an upgrade from liberal plans to destroy everything… lest we forget the howard era…
