Labor’s last resort leader Rebecca White resumes her role tomorrow as Labor leader and while I welcome her return to work, Ms White faces a range of issues, some of her own making, on which she needs to act, straight away.
Now that she is back, Ms White needs to immediately:
In her years and two election losses as leader, Ms White has offered no policies or plan for our State, and ran a series of dishonest scare campaigns at the last election that were comprehensively rejected by voters with Labor’s vote going backwards in every single electorate.
It might be Rebecca White 2.0 – but it’s the same old Labor in chaos, dominated by the same old ‘hard Left factional powerbrokers’ that Shane Broad said “pushed out” Ms White initially; then installed Mr O’Byrne; and then re-installed the failed former leader herself.
It is difficult to see what will change under a re-varnished White-led Opposition.
In contrast, our majority Liberal Government is getting on with the real job of securing Tasmania’s future by delivering our clear Plan for all Tasmanians, and this will be reflected in the upcoming State Budget which will fund all of our election commitments.
