Pathway forward for the Spirits

The Tasmanian Government has received the Gemell and Maloney Report on the challenges around delays in berthing facilities for the new Spirit of Tasmania vessels.

I want to thank Mr Maloney and Mr Gemell and their team for their detailed and extensive work.

We will be considering the report over coming days, and will outline the plan forward on Thursday.

I have been clear, our Government will sort the spirits, fix the GBEs and back our tourism industry.
