Former State Treasurer Kevin Foley has launched himself at Business SA and the banking sector in a series of LinkedIn posts.
“Since the State Budget you and Bankers… have been pounding the news cycle with massive spend talking down the economy,” Mr Foley wrote on the networking site. “… and guess what… your survey says business confidence is down… no sh*t!”
“Business SA has been nothing but a Squawk Box forever… not taken seriously by either side of politics… Hey… business could make an easy cost saving… ditch membership of Business SA… I have no idea what benefits they deliver you!!”
Mr Foley accused Business SA of making overly pessimistic forecasts.
“You start to wonder why business talks their own economy down… why… to help a bunch of bankers who are out there every day screwing many of your members… weird sh*t in anyone’s book!?”
And then he attacked the banks, which have said they will fight the Weatherill’s government’s proposed bank tax in the High Court.
“Bankers, obviously you would campaign against tax, but don’t keep attacking my State with offensive and misleading adverts… not to mention grubby stupid attempts to get X Labor Ministers and Premiers to join your pathetic efforts… and then lie about your attempts…”
He also took a swipe at Anna Bligh, now working for the Australian Bankers Association:
“Anna Bligh was clearly not satisfied in destroying Labor in Qld, she wants a crack at Labor in SA.”
