The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to being tough on crime and keeping the community safe.
Accordingly, we are supportive of the Strategy for Protecting Crowded Places from Terrorism.
All Tasmanians deserve to attend public events and enjoy public spaces without fear, but the sad reality is that we must be ever-alert and vigilant to the threat of terrorism as has been seen overseas.
We will continue to work cooperatively with the Federal Government and owners and operators of crowded places to ensure Tasmanians are safe, and this strategy is an important step in safeguarding our public spaces from any potential threat.
