Member for Wannon Dan Tehan has been appointed to a key Coalition committee scrutinising government
spending.
Mr Tehan said he welcomed his appointment to this important committee which will highlight Labor’s waste,
inefficiency and mismanagement.
He will be focusing his attention on waste in regional and rural spending and examples of this have already
occurred in the Wannon electorate with the government’s Building the Education Revolution (BER) schools
program.
“Australia can’t afford three more years of bad decisions, botched programs and budget blowouts,” Mr Tehan
said today.
“Australian taxpayers are already paying the price for Labor’s first term stuffâups, forking out $100 million every
day to pay back Labor’s debt.”
The Scrutiny of Government Committee comprises six MPs and is chaired by SA Liberal, Jamie Briggs.
Mr Tehan explained the committee will hold Labor to account and highlight their waste and mismanagement in
the new Parliament.
“Labor is addicted to spending and appears to have learned little from their first term of waste and
mismanagement. This is a bad government that will only get worse.
“In Labor’s first term, the Coalition’s Waste Watch Committee revealed that some $10 billion was wasted through
the mismanagement of the school halls, home insulation, green loans and school laptop programs,” he
concluded.
