Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein has defended his government’s record on COVID-19 and the ongoing economic rebuild, while Opposition Leader Rebecca White blasted the state’s health system at the People’s Forum hosted by Sky News and The Mercury.
Sky News and the Mercury hosted the People's Forum with the Tasmanian Premier and Opposition Leader taking questions from Tasmanian voters five days out from the state election.
In her opening statements, Ms White said under the current Liberal government the health waiting list in Tasmania has blown out to the “worst it’s ever been” with 50,000 Tasmanians waiting to see a specialist.
