We are scrapping $100m+ for Labor’s bureaucratic EPA and pulling their ridiculous nature positive agenda (and the money that goes with it). We are actually investing $120m more than Labor for new measures in enviro, including $31.5m for @CVAustralia, $6m for @CWSlive for example

We've been offering for over a year to fast track laws to save Tassie salmon jobs. Unless the PM reconvenes Parliament to save those jobs before the election, his sudden legislation is not worth the paper it's written on.

Here is a letter we put together 18 months ago asking Jim Chalmers to exempt the $240m from GST calculations. Every Federal Tasmanian MP signed this except our Labor reps. They were never keen to do this and had to be brought kicking and screaming to this outcome.
Jim Chalmers has hoodwinked Tasmanians. This letter from Sept 2023 shows every Federal MP across the state asked for an $240m GST exemption for the Hobart stadium, on top of state gvt advocacy. Everyone bar Labor MPs who sided with Canberra all along, not Tasmania #politas

How ridiculous. It's one thing saying that you support salmon workers, it's another actually getting your Environment Minister to guarantee that she won't gut the community of Strahan. Labor are the ones selling out to extreme activists. Do something about it.
Today I spoke with Salty about the importance of the salmon industry to our people, the economy and regional Tasmania 🍣 #supportsalmon #auspol #politas @TassalSalmon @huonaquaculture @AustralianLabor @TasmanianLabor

Tanya Plibersek’s empty media release following the environment ministers’ meeting today is all spin, no substance. In more than two years as Minister she has achieved nothing and still has no idea what to do except to try to blame the Coalition for her own inaction.

In four days of sittings these non-government Bills are the only ones to have come to a vote, such has been the hapless management of the Senate by the government. Now that they’ve passed the PM should show respect to the Senate by bringing them to a vote in the House next week.
The first bills on our agenda this morning are a package of Fair Work bills introduced by Senators @JacquiLambie and @davidpocock. You can find their details (and follow their progress) on the Dynamic Red

While you’re busy paying your sky-high power bill and filling up at the bowser at $2 per litre, your Environment Minister is sending Union halls to UNESCO for world heritage approval #priorities
We’ve just added Victorian Trades Hall to the National Heritage list - to recognise and protect this important piece of history. Plus, we’re supporting its nomination for World Heritage.

C’mon. Let’s be real about this. August of last year (4 mths after election) we had science telling us we had 36 year record coral cover on the reef. If anyone believes that Labor have single handedly have saved the reef in 15 months, think again.
BREAKING: Overnight, UNESCO released a draft decision to not list the Great Barrier Reef as ‘in danger’. This shows that the action our government is taking on climate change and protecting the Great Barrier Reef is making a real difference – and the world has noticed.

I wonder if Tasmanian Labor will call on Dan Andrews to reverse his decision to shut down Victoria’s timber industry which is why they’re coming to Tasmania to buy our timber!?

Hey Gill, here’s an idea: just give Tassie a team. Joint media release with federal colleagues.

In case @bec_white missed the memo - Cradle Mt is a world heritage site. This is a complex project. Takes time. Federal Labor trying to take the $ away with their arbitrary deadline! Stand up for Tas Bec and demand your Fed colleagues extend the deadline!

This is what happens when a government doesn’t stand up for a good and honest industry.

First week back in parliament and with cost of living starting to really hit families and businesses and a million other things the government should be acting on… the government has run out of work in the senate! #auspol

I don’t think it’s appropriate that Libraries Tasmania should be hosting an event that exposes 2 to 5 year olds to adult entertainers.

Minister better get your office to check your own #budget2022 papers. Here’s a reminder of page number👇🏻. When will the missing $69mill Black Spot funding be spent? Clearly not in next 4 years #RoadSafety

That’s embarrassing @BrianMitchellMP you’ve stuffed up. The Visa now gets tabled as a disallowable instrument for consideration by parliament. Don’t touch anything Brian!

It was great to catch up with Mike O'Loughlin on Tas Talks this morning to talk about backing jobs in Tassie’s mining industry, Aus Post’s commitment to shipping perishable goods & our Govt’s $260.9m International Freight Assistance Mechanism extension. https://t.co/1yui5nuDLb
