The Liberal Government's number one priority is jobs and especially creating jobs right around the State.
While there is still a lot of work to do, it's great to see that over the last month 400 new jobs were created in the North and 250 new jobs were created in the North West.
In fact, there are now more jobs in the North West than at any time since July 2011 and employment is growing at more than twice the rate of the rest of the State.
There's no doubt that the Labor-Green forestry deal destroyed regional jobs and regional communities and we are cleaning up the mess, but it will take time.
Tasmania is finally starting to head in the right direction with over 6,000 jobs created since the last election, business confidence through the roof, retail spending at record highs and a construction boom starting to take off around the State.
Our long-term Plan is all about keeping the momentum going, creating even more jobs and growing the economy.
