I would like to convey my thanks to outgoing Labor Leader Bill Shorten and pay tribute to his tireless work, his conviction to improve the lives of working people, his dedication to fight for fairness and his success in uniting the Labor team.
The result is not the one we had hoped for our Nation, however, we must work together to ensure our country moves forward with purpose.
Thank you to the many volunteers and workers who campaigned passionately for a Labor Government. Your effort has been immense.
Congratulations to all successful candidates from Tasmania who will have the honour to serve our state in the National Parliament.
I also want to thank those members who were unsuccessful in regaining their seats for the service they gave to our state and dedication to their communities
Rebecca White MP
Labor Leader
