Here is a letter we put together 18 months ago asking Jim Chalmers to exempt the $240m from GST calculations. Every Federal Tasmanian MP signed this except our Labor reps. They were never keen to do this and had to be brought kicking and screaming to this outcome.

How ridiculous. It's one thing saying that you support salmon workers, it's another actually getting your Environment Minister to guarantee that she won't gut the community of Strahan. Labor are the ones selling out to extreme activists. Do something about it.

Tanya Plibersek’s empty media release following the environment ministers’ meeting today is all spin, no substance. In more than two years as Minister she has achieved nothing and still has no idea what to do except to try to blame the Coalition for her own inaction.

Jim Chalmers has hoodwinked Tasmanians. This letter from Sept 2023 shows every Federal MP across the state asked for an $240m GST exemption for the Hobart stadium, on top of state gvt advocacy. Everyone bar Labor MPs who sided with Canberra all along, not Tasmania #politas

While you’re busy paying your sky-high power bill and filling up at the bowser at $2 per litre, your Environment Minister is sending Union halls to UNESCO for world heritage approval #priorities

C’mon. Let’s be real about this. August of last year (4 mths after election) we had science telling us we had 36 year record coral cover on the reef. If anyone believes that Labor have single handedly have saved the reef in 15 months, think again.

I wonder if Tasmanian Labor will call on Dan Andrews to reverse his decision to shut down Victoria’s timber industry which is why they’re coming to Tasmania to buy our timber!?

Hey Gill, here’s an idea: just give Tassie a team. Joint media release with federal colleagues.

In case @bec_white missed the memo - Cradle Mt is a world heritage site. This is a complex project. Takes time. Federal Labor trying to take the $ away with their arbitrary deadline! Stand up for Tas Bec and demand your Fed colleagues extend the deadline!

This is what happens when a government doesn’t stand up for a good and honest industry.

@AUSenator It will take leadership to ensure that funding is is provided. Labor’s April deadline must be extended for this complex project so Tasmania doesn’t miss out on its already promised funding.

First week back in parliament and with cost of living starting to really hit families and businesses and a million other things the government should be acting on… the government has run out of work in the senate! #auspol

I don’t think it’s appropriate that Libraries Tasmania should be hosting an event that exposes 2 to 5 year olds to adult entertainers.

@DeanWinterMP just stopped laughing at your press release this morning. I’ve come to a position by myself - I’m pretty sure @TasmanianLabor want to have a taxpayer funded referendum to work out their position on a stadium! Real leadership. Nice try Deano.😂

It was great to catch up with Mike O'Loughlin on Tas Talks this morning to talk about backing jobs in Tassie’s mining industry, Aus Post’s commitment to shipping perishable goods & our Govt’s $260.9m International Freight Assistance Mechanism extension.

The Aus Govt has committed $260m to extend the International Freight Assistance Mechanism to 30 June 2022, taking our total commitment to over $1b. This means fisheries & aquaculture producers can continue to access international markets, despite difficulties presented by COVID.
