The Hodgman Liberal Government’s number one priority is jobs.
Tasmania is heading in the right direction and the 2015-16 State Budget will focus on building on this momentum across the State.
Unlike the Hobart-centric Member for Denison Andrew Wilkie, the Hodgman Liberal Government is working to create jobs for all Tasmanians, no matter where they live.
The GST windfall we have received from the Federal Government will be invested wisely in job-creating infrastructure that will continue to benefit Tasmania long after the money has been spent.
It is acknowledged that the economy is growing faster in the South than it is in the North and North West and for that reason this month’s budget will contain new investments in job-creating infrastructure, particularly in the North and the North West of the State.
What does Mr Wilkie have against people in the North and North West of Tasmania?
Mr Willkie’s latest anti-northern rant, following on from his call for the closure of the Mersey hospital, does not befit a Tasmanian political representative.
