Labor's blatant disregard of Tasmanians

Federal Labor members have become Canberra apologists, completely selling out the Tasmanians who voted them in.

​

Federal Member for Bass, Jess Teesdale, and Federal Agriculture Minister, Julie Collins, have abandoned the people of the North East.

​

Have Ms Teesdale and Minister Collins advocated to the Prime Minister to overturn the decision made by their Labor colleague?

​

Tasmanians aren't buying Labor's hands-off approach.

​

Minister Collins claimed there was a rigorous process at the same time Ms Teesdale claimed to not have all the details of the sale approved by her Government.

​

But both Labor members were quick to push an unproven jobs claim.

​

Tasmanians have questions: what are these 190 jobs, where will they be based, what will they do, when will they be employed?

​

Instead of running cover for Canberra, we call on Ms Teesdale and Minister Collins to stand up for the people of Bass and our farmers.

​

Australian taxpayers should not be coughing up $69 million to turn productive Tasmanian farmland into trees to tick a climate policy box.
