Our economy is one of the strongest in the country, our Budget is under control, and we are able to invest more into essential services. The 2018-19 Budget delivers on all the commitments we made under our Plan to Build Your Future. The Budget delivers a record $2.6 billion investment in job creating infrastructure including new schools, better hospitals and road upgrades throughout Tasmania. We are building new schools for families in growth areas, as well as major upgrades to learning facilities throughout the state. Six new Early Learning Hubs will be established and $18 million invested to build and upgrade Kindergartens across Tasmania. Building on our record investment in Tasmania’s health system, the Budget will fund expansions in our four major hospitals, boost resources for our rural hospitals and deliver new ambulance stations. The Budget delivers upgrades to State Roads throughout Tasmania and funds the widening of the West Tamar Highway, delivers our South East Traffic Solution to tackle Hobart’s traffic congestion, and commences work on a new Bridgewater Bridge. A further $51.7 million will be invested to upgrade roads around the state in key tourism destinations. Tasmania’s economy has come a long way over the past four years with more than 11,000 new jobs created, but we know there is more work to be done. That’s why we are extending targeted small business grants and the Payroll Tax Rebate to support the training of 3,000 additional apprentices and trainees, as well as establishing TasTAFE Centres of Excellence focused on key industries to ensure young Tasmanians are equipped with the skills for the jobs of tomorrow. TASMANIAN BUDGET MEDIA RELEASE | 2018-19 PAGE 1 We are investing more than $150 million to grow a competitive, innovative, sustainable, and profitable farming sector. Importantly, my Government is also delivering practical measures to take the pressure off household budgets. We’re also responding to cost of living pressures with almost $300 million dedicated to reducing household expenses such as water and electricity costs. The 2018-19 Budget delivers an additional $125 million to implement Stage II of our Affordable Housing Strategy to provide an additional 1,500 new affordable homes and assist 2,000 households who need it most. All Tasmanians have the right to be safe in their community, this is why we will put an additional 125 police officers on the beat and will strengthen Tasmania’s response to the problems posed by all drugs in our society, and particularly ice. It is important to remember that the gains we have made wouldn’t have occurred if it were not for our strong financial management. The 2018-19 Budget continues our commitment to remain in surplus and live within our means. Tasmania’s best days are ahead of us – but only if we plan responsibly for the future. The 2018-19 Budget charts the path my Government will take to take Tasmania to the next level. Contact: Andrew Hudgson Phone: 0439 083 275 TASMANIAN BUDGET MEDIA RELEASE | 2018-19 PAGE 2 14 June 2018 PETER GUTWEIN Treasurer Balanced Budget – delivering on our commitments The Hodgman Liberal Government’s 2018-19 Budget delivers on our Plan to Build Your Future. It is a Plan endorsed by an overwhelming majority of Tasmanians at the last election. Our Plan will further strengthen our economy and support the creation of more jobs, with a record $2.6 Billion investment in the infrastructure our growing state needs to continue to prosper. With more than 11,000 jobs created since we came to office, positive economic growth forecast and continued momentum expected across the Budget and Forward Estimates period, Tasmania is open for business. We laid the foundations in the last term of Government so Tasmanians could look forward to a brighter future – now we are getting on with the job of taking Tasmania to the next level. Over the next four years the Hodgman Liberal Government will invest a record $7.6 billion to meet the health needs of Tasmanians by increasing services, expanding our hospitals and improving our ambulance service. We will invest more than $6.7 billion into Tasmania’s education system with new schools, upgraded facilities and a focus on expanding early learning services throughout the state. We are also getting on with the job of building the infrastructure for our State needs with a record $2.6 billion investment in job creating projects to drive future economic growth. Our Plan will also provide more than $300 million to reduce cost of living pressures, and protect the Tasmanian way of life. In 2018-19, the Budget surplus is estimated to be $161.9 million, with the Budget forecast to be in surplus each and every year of the Forward Estimates period. TASMANIAN BUDGET MEDIA RELEASE | 2018-19 PAGE 1 The achievement of modest surpluses over the Budget and Forward Estimates period provides a prudent financial buffer for the Government to manage unexpected events such as floods and bushfires. Consistent with our Fiscal Strategy, we will continue to live within our means – growth in expenditure during our time in Government is forecast to be well below the historical long term average growth in revenue. Importantly, the Government will remain Net Debt free over the Budget and Forward Estimates period. This Budget continues our commitment to remain in surplus and live within our means so Tasmania can deal with any unexpected bumps in the road. We will never take the Labor/Green approach of spending like there’s no tomorrow, and wrecking the State’s finances in the process. Only by maintaining a balanced Budget with sound fundamentals can a government deliver more jobs, a stronger economy, improved infrastructure and better services for Tasmanians. Contact: Andrew Hudgson Phone: 0439 083 275 TASMANIAN BUDGET MEDIA RELEASE | 2018-19 PAGE 2 14 June 2018 WILL HODGMAN Premier Investing in health, education and Tasmanians in need Every Tasmanian deserves to grow up in a safe environment and have access to quality healthcare and education. In the 2018-19 Budget the Government is investing more in education, health and to reduce the cost of living pressures Tasmanians face. This is only possible because we have done the hard work to get the budget back in balance. Our record $757 million investment in Tasmania’s health system will deliver 298 new beds, 802 more nurses, 158 more doctors, 128 more allied health professionals and 182 more support staff over the next six years. We are investing a record $324 million in education to build new schools for families in growth areas, as well as major upgrades to learning facilities throughout the state. Six new Early Learning Hubs will be established and $18 million invested to build and upgrade Kindergartens across Tasmania.

The aim of this case study is to analyse the articles reported in the Hobart’s Mercury newspaper about the implementation of major curriculum change that included as a major focus the public purposes of education, i.e., the ELs curriculum during the first six years of the twenty-first century. One hundred and forty one articles related to the ELs curriculum were published between September 2000 and June 2007 (see Chart 4.1). The context in which those articles were written is described in the next section and is also summarised in Chart 4.1.

  • Premier of Tasmania - Anniversary of June 2016 Floods a Time for Reflection
    Premier of Tasmania - Anniversary of June 2016 floods a time for reflection Search Home News About Cabinet Speeches Budget Contact Will Hodgman Premier of Tasmania 5 June 2017 Jeremy Rockliff, Minister for Primary Industries and Water Anniversary of June 2016 floods a time for reflection In marking the 12-month anniversary of last June’s devastating floods, it is a time to reflect on the tragic loss of life and the many families, farms and communities that were impacted. Once in a century floods swept across 20 of Tasmania’s 29 municipalities with enormous speed and causing catastrophic damage to farms and infrastructure and people’s livelihoods. It is difficult to adequately describe the heartache of missing family members, farmers losing stock or a family seeing their home go under water – it has a different impact on every individual. The community, including the Tasmanian Government, stood beside these families and communities as they rebuilt and we continue to help with rehabilitation grants, loans and financial advice. The total damage bill is estimated in excess of $180 million and my thanks go to the many organisations like the local councils, TFGA, Dairy Tas, Rural Business Tasmania, Rural Alive and Well, and DPIPWE who all worked magnificently together to help affected families and communities. The Tasmanian Government quickly responded with a series of Emergency Assistance Grants, Community and Primary Producer Clean-up Grants, funding to the Rural Relief Fund, established the Flood Recovery Taskforce, the Flood Recovery Loan Scheme and also successfully liaised with the Australian Government for the affected regions to be covered by the National Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement.
