There is no doubt we need more investment in primary care with the latest health dashboard data showing that too many Tasmanians are presenting to our emergency departments with non-urgent conditions.

A Labor Government would take immediate action to repair uninhabitable social housing to get hundreds of people off the housing waiting list.

Todayâs ABS retail trade figures are further evidence that cost-of-living pressures are biting Tasmanians hard. Retail turnover fell 3.7 per cent across the state as Tasmanians continue to tighten their belts under a Rockliff Liberal Government.
