Next week's budget will deliver on our promises, fix the budget mess and lay the foundations for the future.
We are getting on with the job that we were elected to do and delivering our long-term plan for Tasmania.
While it's early days, we are already seeing promising signs. Business confidence in Tasmania has risen to the highest of any state since we were elected, and since March 1,800 new jobs have been created.
We are delivering on our policy promises including already starting the roll-out of Year 12 in six high schools, and our Legislation to repeal Labor and the Greens' jobs destroying forest deal, which will be debated in the Upper House this week.
We are making sure investors know we're open for business by abolishing headworks charges, reforming our planning system and cutting red and green tape.
We're delivering on our commitment to invest $76 million to reduce elective surgery waiting lists with an extra 673 procedures to be delivered between July and October.
We're taking advantage of our competitive strengths by opening our National Parks and World Heritage Area to expressions of interest for appropriate and sensible development.
In contrast, Labor has no plan. At their State Conference last month Labor officially abandoned its Platform. They have no Platform, no policies and stand for nothing.
We promised to deliver a long-term plan for Tasmania and we're getting on with the job of doing that.
