Liberal Tasmania
  • Felix Ellis Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Minister for Housing, Planning and Consumer Affairs, Minister for Skills and Training, Member for Braddon
  • The Labor Party has adopted an official election platform to sell state-owned assets and increase taxes.

    Labor yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which the TCCI says commits Labor to consider asset sales and increased taxes.

    The TCCI says the MOU means: "Everything should be on the table, everything from asset sales to tax reform and the like. We understand the need for additional income sources."

    Labor also plans to sell Tasmania's share of ownership in the Marinus power project, giving mainlanders control of Tasmania's energy assets.

    The Liberals' plan means we keep our share of ownership without spending a single extra dollar.

    Labor also voted in Parliament to increase taxes.

    Look at the facts:

    FACT: Labor has signed a deal that puts asset sales and tax increases on the table.

    FACT: Labor voted in Parliament to legislate tax increases on 9 April 2025.

    FACT: Labor plans to sell a state-owned energy asset.
