Will Hodgman, Premier

State of the State address

After nearly one year of a Tasmanian Liberal Government our State is now headed in the right direction.

Since we began implementing our long term Plan for a Brighter Future nearly 7000 jobs have been created, business confidence has been restored and there are more police. We have reined in budget spending and boosted tourism. We are also rebuilding the forest industry and proceeding with bold plans to create a job ready generation and improve the health system.

It's early days and there's a long way to go, which is why it's important that we continue to deliver on our long term Plan.

This year our job is to build on the momentum we have already created.

On Tuesday I will outline my Government's Plan for the next 365 days.

We are prepared to be held to account and judged on outcomes.

As I said on election night, there are no silver bullets and we won't be perfect, but we will always work hard, listen, and govern in the best interests of the Tasmanian people.

Our first year record demonstrates what a strong, stable majority government can achieve. There is still more to be done, but we have the Plan and the team to build a better Tasmania.
