Another Green maths fail

released:

Claims by the Green Party on contaminated sites expenditure expose how poorly they understand , Minister Dr Nick Smith says.

“Their claim the has underspent on contaminated sites clean-up by $32.6 million involves basic accounting errors that raise serious questions about their economic competence.

“It is a nonsense for the Greens to claim that the transfer of $11.3 million for the mine clean-up from the annual appropriations to a multi-year one is a cut. The funding is identical but a multi-year appropriation recognises a particular project may be spread over a number of financial years.

Maybe we should crowd-fund a Treasury secondee for the Greens so they don't make such basic errors.
