More fake claims from Labor

Suggestions made today by Shane Broad that King Island will run out of food are absurd.

TasPorts has advised that the King Island service will continue to have three sailings per week to Grassy over the Easter holiday period. The ship was in Grassy on Saturday and is there again today, with cargo runs scheduled for Thursday and Saturday.

This is simply more disgraceful scaremongering from a Labor opposition who clearly have no policies and no plan for Tasmania.  They move from ‘fake crisis’ to ‘fake crisis’, with the sole aim of frightening Tasmanians for their own political gain.

Mr Broad should apologise to the King Island community for making these fake claims and trying to ruin their Easter.
