Months of warning about the end of JobKeeper ignored by Gutwein
Only Labor has an ambitious plan for jobs
New payroll jobs data released today shows the devastating reality the cut to JobKeeper payments is having on Tasmanians.
Shadow Treasurer David O’Byrne said the data revealed approximately 3000 Tasmanian jobs were lost over the past month, 650 of which were lost in tourism and hospitality in the week JobKeeper ended.
“What today’s data tells us is that there were thousands of Tasmanians relying on JobKeeper who are now out of work,” Mr O’Byrne said.
“After months of warnings from Labor about the end of JobKeeper, Peter Gutwein chose not to talk to his Canberra colleagues and instead gave up on the job early and called an election.

Liberals only delivered 31% of its infrastructure budget by the end of February
Only Labor is working for Tasmanians for real economic outcomes
Infrastructure Minister Michael Ferguson cannot change the facts, he is completely failing to deliver the infrastructure Peter Gutwein promised Tasmanians.
Shadow Treasurer David O’Byrne said Treasury’s numbers show the Government had delivered just 31% of its infrastructure budget by the end of February.
“If this rate of failure continues for the remaining four months of the year, the Government will fail to deliver more than $600 million worth of housing, hospitals, schools and road upgrades,” Mr O’Byrne said.

Tasmanians miss out as Liberals break scores of infrastructures promises
Labor is working for Tasmanians to deliver better economic outcomes
Shadow Treasurer David O’Byrne said Labor welcomed today’s improvement in the budget and debt position, but noted the improvement is almost entirely due to increased GST receipts and the Government’s failure to deliver its infrastructure promises.
“Today’s report shows the Liberals will under-deliver on their infrastructure promises by nearly $600 million,” Mr O’Byrne said.
“That means hundreds of families won’t be housed this winter, run down schools won’t be fixed, hospitals will still be in crisis and traffic will be as bad as ever.
