Visionstream’s decision to sack 60 Tasmanian workers could not come at a worse time for their families, the NBN rollout in the State or for our economy.
These jobs losses are a major blow and the State Liberal Government has been caught on the hop.
Will Hodgman needs to immediately step up and secure the jobs and entitlements of the workers at risk.
The loss of work is bad enough, but the potential loss of skills will have a long lasting effect.
The rollout of the NBN in Tasmania is too important to see any further delays as is retaining the capacity of workers in the sector.
The people of Tasmania want a fully functioning NBN and we want it now. Our economic future relies upon it.
Madeleine Ogilvie MP Shadow Minister for Technology, Communications and Innovation
