Pembroke result signals cost of living top issue

Tasmanian Labor

The
Government’s plan to build a $750 million stadium in Hobart during a cost of
living, health and housing crisis has been firmly rejected through the Pembroke
election result.

Labor has been
talking to Tasmanians about what they want to see from Government. This
Government’s decisions to increase power prices, water and sewerage bills and
impose a new bin tax have been deeply unpopular and are hurting Tasmanian
families.

Labor has
presented solutions to each of these issues and Tasmanians have seen the
government reject them.

Luke Edmunds
has been fighting for his community on Clarence Council for four years and is
well prepared for Parliament. He is well-known and liked in his community and
has a clear focus on getting the basics right. He is a Bellerive dad with a
young family and he will be a great addition to our team.

This result is a clear message to the Premier: Instead of building a $750 million stadium in Hobart, he should focus on keeping costs down for Tasmanian families and fixing the health and housing crisis.
