1000 days, 1000 reasons Tasmania is a better place

Today marks 1000 days since the election of the Tasmanian Liberal Government.
We came to office in March 2014 with a Plan to deliver a brighter future for Tasmanians, and we have been working hard every day to deliver on it.
Today I am releasing a list of 1000 reasons why Tasmania is a better place now than it was before the election.
Our long term Plan for Tasmania is all about economic growth and jobs, while also getting the budget back in balance so we can deliver the services that Tasmanians need and deserve.
We are delivering on that Plan, and also on our promise to provide a strong, stable, majority government.
We have kick-started an economy that was in recession, delivering three consecutive years of economic growth and our unemployment rate is down.
When we came into government we inherited a Budget from Labor and the Greens with deficits of $1.1 billion. We have returned the Budget to surplus for the first time in six years.
This has allowed us to invest more into schools, hospitals, and in greater support for the most vulnerable in our community.
There is no doubt that Tasmania has changed for the better since the election, but there is a lot more to do.
We know not everyone is feeling the benefits of the stronger economy, or record low elective surgery waiting lists, or an improved education system; which is why we’re committed to continuing to delivering our long-term Plan for a Brighter Future.
