Liberals' election costings coming soon

Troy Buswell says costings for his party's election promises will be submitted to Treasury soon.

COSTINGS for all of the Liberal Party's election commitments will be submitted in coming days, Treasurer Troy Buswell says.

The Opposition has criticised its key political opponents for not yet providing independently assessed estimates for its projects, including the MAX light rail plan.

Instead, the Liberals have submitted a rough approximation of the opposition's Metronet rail plan to the Public Transport Authority (PTA), although Treasury didn't have time to validate the $6.4 billion estimate.

Labor remains confident the project will cost much less at about $3.8 billion.

Mr Buswell told a business forum with his opposite number, Ben Wyatt, today that the Liberals would submit costings for all of its election commitments to Treasury by the end of this week or early next week.

"We're very confident that all of our costings will go to Treasury,'' Mr Buswell said.

"We're comfortable with where it will land.''

While the March 9 State Election was less than a fortnight away, Treasury had indicated that it had enough time, Mr Buswell said.

Mr Wyatt said the PTA estimate for Metronet made no sense, with rail cars budgeted for some lines, but not for others.

He also said Labor would submit its costings for Metronet to Treasury later today.

The Opposition faces embarrassment if its $3.8 billion estimate falls short.
