Premier’s backflip has created uncertainty in tourism and freight sector
Liberal Government cannot be trusted on infrastructure
Peter Gutwein should be ashamed of himself for wasting $146,000 of taxpayers’ money in the embarrassing fiasco to replace the Spirit of Tasmania vessels.
Shadow Infrastructure Minister Shane Broad said the Premier’s humiliating backflip has angered local shipbuilders and created uncertainty and anxiety in the tourism and freight sector.
“After a delay of almost a year, Peter Gutwein today revealed in Parliament that he spent $146,000 of taxpayers’ money on a report he completely ignored when he backflipped right back to square one – announcing the ships will be built in Finland after all,” Dr Broad said.

Report reinforces Labor’s calls for investment, action
Labor has a plan to invest in Port of Burnie and drive growth
Infrastructure Australia’s (IA) 2021 Priority List reinforces Labor’s calls for the State Government to get on with delivering crucial projects that have been neglected for years.
Shadow Infrastructure Minister Shane Broad said the Burnie Port upgrade is one of two projects added to the list this year, yet the State Government continues to ignore it.
“The Port of Burnie is one of the state’s key assets and, along with replacing the Port of Hobart’s wharf infrastructure, is one of only two priority projects recognised by IA on its 2021 list,” Dr Broad said.
