Premier Bartlett should call an election before Christmas.

Whilst he has given a public undertaking that he will not call an early election, there is nothing positive to be achieved by struggling through the next 4 months of this lame administration.

There are too many issues that need clear air.

Education, health, infrastructure, planning, the pulp mill, capabilities and standards within the Ministry – the list goes on.

In the best interests of Tasmania – call an early election! We need a fresh start in 2010.
