At the end of the campaign the Liberals' spending tally has hit almost $400 million.
They are commitments the state can't afford, according to Labor, which has offered Tasmanians a far more modest $163 million worth of proposals.
Labor has submitted all of its policies to Treasury for an assessment on the impact to the bottom line while the Greens tried to inject some big-picture ideas into the campaign and finished with more than $200 million worth of promises to lure voters.
All three parties identified savings to pay for their commitments, the Liberals making the biggest cuts, including shrinking the public service by 500 full-time positions.
