TasCOSS has called on the next State Government to apply our State’s proven long-term planning and investment strategies to a new investment in our State’s most important asset: The Tasmanian people.
“We know Tasmania has the vision, skills and experience to direct investment to successfully gain huge long-term dividends for the State,” TasCOSS CEO Kym Goodes said.
“We see this in our governments’ investments in tourism infrastructure over many years which have led to our island now being the destination of choice for mainlanders and overseas explorers alike.
“And we know our governments can apply this vision and these skills in other areas with investment in irrigation also beginning to pay long-term, meaningful dividends.
“The next Project of State Significance our Government takes on will determine what Tasmania looks like in the next 10 to 20 years.
“And Tasmanians are telling us they want to see the next strategic investment to be made in our people and our communities.
“They want our human, built, cultural and natural assets to be treated as of equivalent importance to our economic assets.
“The 2018 State Election sees Tasmania poised at the brink of having the courage to make this change. We will need courageous leaders whose belief in each one of us gives them the strength to take us there.”
