Liberals set action agenda

There is no doubt that after 11 years of Labor, Tasmania is heading in the wrong direction. Tasmania needs leadership, vision and planning for the future.

The Tasmanian Liberals under Will Hodgman have an action agenda that will help Tasmania be a proud and united place to live in, and do business in. A place where more people want to be, and where our State achieves its true potential.

Today we are launching an advertisement detailing what our action agenda is.

Our Action Agenda will

Drive our economy forward – We will back Tasmanian businesses to create jobs and give them the environment they need to grow, usher in a new dawn for emerging industries, build infrastructure for the future, make Tasmania a population magnet, unlock the potential of our regions and cut government waste.

Deliver accountable government – We will establish an anti-corruption and ethics authority, implement a strict new code of conduct for ministers, advisers and public servants, and change the culture of government, making Open Government the law.

Deliver better health results – We will put a stop to endless waiting lists, resuscitating all of our hospitals, focus on keeping people well and out of hospital, provide better health services closer to home, strengthen our health workforce and get better value for your health dollar.

Raise education standards – We will boost literacy and numeracy standards, especially in high schools, so our children can achieve their potential. We will do this through more support for teachers, more support for students who fall behind and removing impediments to children getting to school.

Strengthen our community and protect our lifestyle – We will take strong and decisive action to protect our children, get tough on criminals, improve road safety, implement our Fairer Tasmania plan, and care for our precious natural environment.

We can do much better, but to do better we need to change the Government.
