Tasmania Needs Change 03 June 2025

Tas Labor

The Labor Party has changed under my leadership.

Tasmanians have a choice between a minority Liberal government that’s given up, or a Labor Party with a plan to deliver the change Tasmania needs.

Between a Premier who has delivered the three worst fiscal deficits in Tasmania’s history, and whose only plan to fix it is a fire sale of the assets we’ve built together over the past 100 years, or a changed Labor Party with a real plan for budget repair.

A minority Liberal government that’s cost 7,000 Tasmanians their full-time job, or a Labor Party that’s focused on its fundamental purpose of creating safe, secure, well-paid jobs.

A minority government that oversaw the biggest infrastructure stuff up in history, or a Labor Party that’s proudly pro-development and has a plan to get Tasmania building again.

A minority government that’s broken its biggest promises on health and education and now wants to sack two and a half thousand workers. Or a Labor Party with a plan to modernise our schools, hospitals, and public services.

More of the same, or an ambitious plan for change – that’s the choice for Tasmania.
