Health is not an afterthought for Labor. It is front and centre.

In contrast to the uncertainty created by the Premier today about who will hold the health portfolio in his government, the Labor Party has the very capable Anita Dow.

The minority Liberal government is now outsourcing its media unit.

Is this another sign an early election is just weeks away from getting called?

And how does Font PR manage the conflict of interest this presents as a publisher of multiple newspapers?

Takes a bit to shock me these days but this decision has floored me. #politas

The power price increase announced today will hurt households and business.

The minority Liberal government broke its promise to cap power prices. And this is the consequence.

Ambulances were ramped at Tasmanian hospitals for 31,528 hours from July ‘22 to March ‘23.

That’s equivalent to nearly 5 ambulances ramped around the clock for nine months.

That’s bad for paramedics and ambulance volunteers and bad for patients.

Last night 554 health staff in Tasmania were sent a letter demanding they pay back the COVID allowance that was paid in recognition of their efforts during the pandemic.

The Premier has today defended this disgraceful letter.

Talk about wrong priorities.
