It has taken the Liberals 11 years and an election campaign to discover primary health.
Despite being in government for over a decade, they had done next to nothing in the primary health space until Labor showed some leadership and pushed for a fresh start.
Labor has been on the front foot on health this election, announcing 10 TassieDoc clinics which will give Tasmanians access to 100% free GP visits.
We've stepped in to save clinics like Risdon Vale that the Liberals shut.
We've stepped up to save the GP Assist service, which was set for closure under the Liberals.
While the Liberals spent those eleven years ignoring the fact Tasmanians couldn't get in to see a doctor, they did have time to make all sorts of promises about health they haven't kept.
According to the Liberals, Tasmania was meant to be the healthiest state by 2025. After 11 years of Liberal government neglect, we're the least healthy.
Given it has taken the Liberals 11 years to discover primary health, they can't be trusted to deliver any of their promises, which were only made to keep up with Labor.
It's time for a fresh start with a new government, and the best way to make that happen is to vote Labor.
