If the Liberals haven’t fixed it in 10 years, they never will 20 February 2024

If the Liberals haven’t fixed it in 10 years, they never will.

A new advertising campaign highlights how the Liberals have botched the state’s energy policy, ruined health care and left thousands of Tasmanians without a home.

On three occasions, Premier Jeremy Rockliff repeatedly refused to cap power prices despite promising Tasmanians the exact thing at the last election.

Now, Tasmanians are left paying mainland prices for local power in a cost of living crisis.

The Liberal Government’s has dragged its feet on housing investment and Tasmania is now the least affordable state to rent or buy a home.

It means that more than 4500 Tasmanians still do not have a roof over their head – roughly four times longer than 10 years ago.

And instead of trying to fix health, they’ve cut $145 million from the budget.

We’ve now got more than 58,000 people waiting for outpatient appointments, ambulances ramped and the worst bed block in the country.

If the Liberals haven’t fixed it in 10 years, they never will. The damage is done.

It’s time for the Liberals to go, Tasmanians can’t afford to have them in office for 14 years.
