Labor stronger, united as Liberals end first year to forget

Tasmanian Labor
  • Labor policies to create full-time jobs and solve health, housing crises
  • Checked-out Hodgman and his Government held to account for failures
  • Only Labor will put people first
  • Tasmanian Labor Leader Rebecca White said the Tasmanian Labor team is stronger, bigger and working hard on behalf of Tasmanians as the tired Liberal Government marks its scandal-plagued first 12 months.

    "Labor has been holding the Government to account for its failures and showing our commitment to putting people first," Ms White said.

    "Just a year into his second term, the Premier has checked out. Premier Hodgman delayed the return of Parliament and his Ministers are failing to do their jobs while Tasmanians are suffering.

    "The Government is consumed by scandal and failure having lost two members in the past month alone.

    "The hospitals and health crisis is worse than ever, more Tasmanians than ever cannot afford a roof over their heads and the Government has no plan to fix the congestion on our roads.

    "We now know the government has squandered the good times, and Tasmania is heading into hundreds of millions in debt.

    "There is little to celebrate and everything for Tasmanians to be disappointed in after Premier Hodgman's first year of this term of government.

    "Labor is working with stakeholders across the state's key economic sectors with our Industry Advisory Councils (IACs) to create more full time jobs in Tasmania and we continue to put forward solutions to the ongoing health crisis and housing crisis while holding the Government to account.

    "Labor is united and determined to provide Tasmanians with a positive alternative to this tired, scandal-plagued Government that refuses to put people first."
