The Tasmanian Liberal Government is committed to creating a more inclusive Tasmania that empowers and enables women and girls to fully participate in our economic, social, political and community life.
The Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women is a significant recognition of the dedication, commitment, and hard work of many Tasmanian women.
In 2021, 18 women and three women’s organisations are inducted onto the Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women.
Some of the inductees are leaders in their chosen careers, some have achieved international recognition whilst others are quiet achievers and volunteers who have made a significant contribution to their communities in Tasmania.
Peter Gutwein,Premier
The Tasmanian Government welcomes today’s announcement from the Australian Government of further support for our tourism industry.
The package will include half-price airfares for visitors to Launceston, Devonport and Burnie, bringing visitors to Tasmania and providing a boost for local tourism operators that have done it tough through COVID-19.
It will bring more travellers keen to spend in our hotels and cafes, meaning more jobs and investment for the tourism and aviation sectors, and more money into regional businesses and our economy.
While Hobart remains a major drawcard for travellers, for many years we have been working to encourage more travellers to explore all areas of our State, spreading the economic benefit more widely, so this package will build on this important work.
