Minister Barnett needs to immediately reverse Grinch-like decision 15 December 2023

Health Minister Guy Barnett needs to quickly reverse the ridiculous decision by Ambulance Tasmania leadership to ban Christmas decorations and Santa Hats.

It beggars belief that a nano-second was spent considering such a bad decision let alone months as has been reported today.

The morale of the Ambulance service is at an all-time low thanks to this Liberal government and this decision to effectively ban Christmas is just another blow that should never have occurred.

Our paramedics and volunteer ambulance officers do an amazing job under incredible pressure and our community holds them in the highest of respect.

They deserve better than this decision.

Anita Dow MP

Shadow Minister for Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing
