I am pleased that the Premier has agreed with the Liberals’ call to counter the misinformation about Tasmania’s forest industry that is being spread around the globe by the Greens.

The Property Council’s Hobart office vacancy report shows that Hobart is quickly becoming closed for business under Labor and the Greens.

I welcome the release of the TCCI’s budget submission today, which is consistent with the Liberals’ vision set out in our first Future Directions statement earlier this month.

Two new reports on the state of Tasmania’s economy again highlight the need for policies to grow the Tasmanian economy – policies which only a majority Liberal Government can deliver, because unlike Labor, we aren’t beholden to the Greens.

On a day when our economic challenges were in the spotlight, it is disappointing that the Premier is once again focussed on how many politicians there are in Tasmania.
