Tasmanian election was a 'very difficult campaign' for Labor02/05/2021|11min
Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he doesn’t think “anything more could have been asked of Rebecca White and her Labor team,” adding it was a “very difficult campaign”.
A Liberal majority government is expected in Tasmania after Premier Peter Gutwein delivered a victory speech on Saturday night with his party set to become the first in state history to secure a third term.
Speaking at the iconic Tally Room, following a concession speech from Opposition Leader Rebecca White, Mr Gutwein said it was "time for Tasmania's next chapter".
Ms White attributed the Liberal win to Mr Gutwein’s decisions around keeping the Tasmanian community safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
