Hodgman must reverse decision on Community Fund board
The Liberal Government must do the right thing and reverse its decision to scrap the board of the Tasmanian Community Fund.
Labor Leader Bryan Green says the issue has been lost in the midst of other job cuts.
“Will Hodgman made a big mistake when he chose to abolish the Tasmanian Community Fund board,” Mr Green said.
“He needs to admit he got it wrong and reverse this appalling decision.
“The board provides the public with confidence that funding is properly distributed to crucial Tasmanian projects and organisations.
“The decision to scrap the board was met with a deserved public backlash and the time has come for the Premier to back down or risk looking even more out of touch with the community.”
