With the biggest ever boost to health in a single budget - $650 million and 106 hospital beds – it puts health front and centre. This additional investment will be spread right around the state but will particularly target the Royal Hobart Hospital which is under pressure as a result of increased demand and temporary capacity constraints due to the hospital redevelopment. Jobs, particularly jobs for young Tasmanians, are also a key focus of the 2017-18 Budget, with a package providing incentives to employers, including small business, to employ young Tasmanians. In this Budget we are also taking action against cost of living pressures. We are taking action to cap electricity prices, which will save the average household around $300 on their power bill in the coming 12 months. And, by taking control of TasWater, we’ll deliver lower prices to customers, saving the average household up to $550. We’re also making it more affordable to build your first home, with a New Housing Incentive Package, which includes the First Home Builders’ Boost, and reducing stamp duty on house and land packages. In education we are investing more – including funding the “full Gonski", $117 million to upgrade our schools, and we’re employing more school staff to help our kids get a better education. Supporting Tasmanians in need features strongly in the Budget, with an additional $45 million to strengthen the child protection system. And, we’re acting to keep Tasmanians safe, with funding to put more police in our community, and provide them with the latest equipment, body-worn cameras, to help them protect us. Tasmanian Budget | 2017-18 Page 1 This Budget’s $2 billion investment in infrastructure is spread right around the State - for example, we’re building a new hospital in St Helens; there’s $35 million to upgrade the Mersey Hospital at Latrobe; and in Launceston we’re providing funds to revitalise Launceston with the University of Tasmania and City Heart projects. There’s also over $800 million investment in roads and rail, with new projects including the Perth Link Road, the Mowbray Connector, and a $19 million bridge upgrade program. We’re continuing to invest in our economy’s competitive strengths, with a $37 million boost for tourism which includes $8 million for tourism infrastructure in our national parks, $44 million to support agriculture and aquaculture to continue to employ Tasmanians, as well as further investments into our mining and forestry sectors. Most importantly, the Budget continues our strong fiscal discipline, with a small surplus this year, and surpluses every year across the forward estimates. We’ve kept spending under control, since our election and through to the end of the budget's forward estimates, with spending growth rate to be around 2.4 per cent, while the annual growth in revenues over the same period is forecast to be 2.7 per cent. By comparison, under the last eight years under Labor and the Greens, spending grew at 4.8 percent. We’re absolutely committed to keeping the Budget in balance, because it means we can continue to invest more in essential services, and build Tasmania’s future. Contact: Brad Nowland Phone: 0439 614 893 Tasmanian Budget | 2017-18 Page 2 25th May, 2017 Peter Gutwein, Treasurer 2017-18 Budget: Balanced Budgets Each and Every Year The 2017-18 Budget is all about Building Tasmania’s Future. It is a Budget which builds on our three years of hard work in Government. It delivers better health and education services, more jobs, better roads and transport, action on cost of living, and continued investment in essential services such as public safety and supporting Tasmanians in need. In our first Budget we had to take some difficult but necessary decisions to stem the bleeding. Our second Budget was about consolidating the State’s financial position, and the third delivered last year - albeit after losing nearly $500 million in GST - was about reinvesting back into health, education and other essential services. This Budget, the fourth budget delivered as a part of our long-term plan, will ensure that the hard work that has gone on over the last three years and the results that have been achieved are not squandered. It continues our strong plan for Tasmania and delivers not only a balanced budget bottom line, but also key initiatives and sensible investments that will build Tasmania’s future. Our economy continues to grow, and is forecast to expand above trend by 2.5 per cent in 2017-18. When businesses are confident as they are under us, they invest more and they employ more people – since the election there are now over 6400 more Tasmanians with jobs. At 5.8 per cent, our unemployment rate is equal to the national average, and is one of the lowest among all States. Tasmanian Budget | 2017-18 Page 1 The 2017-18 Budget forecasts a surplus of over $54 million in 2017-18, and we will remain in surplus each and every year of the Forward Estimates for the first time in a decade, with a cumulative surplus of just over $200 million. And rather than forecasting rising net debt as the State did three years ago, we now have a strong balance sheet and this budget forecasts positive net cash and investments across the forward estimates. Net Cash and Investments will be more than $450 million as at 30 June 2018, which is an improvement of more than $277 million relative to the estimated 30 June 2018 figure in last year’s Budget. We know like any household or business does that you must cut your cloth to suit your circumstances, that you can’t keep spending more than you earn and expect to retain a strong financial position. Over the life of the Government under our settings the annual growth in spending through to 2020-21 is estimated to be around 2.4 per cent, while the annual growth in revenues over the same period is forecast to be 2.7 per cent, which is well below the long run trend of revenue growth of 4.7 per cent. Key initiatives in this year’s Budget include: • The biggest ever boost to health, $650 million and 106 beds; • A package of measures to support around 7,600 young Tasmanians in jobs; • Action on cost of living which will save households $300 on the cost of electricity, up to $550 over six years on water and sewerage, and make it cheaper to build your first home; • $117 million for new and better school and TAFE buildings, $134 million in “full Gonski” funding for our schools, and $17.8 million to employ more specialist teachers to help our students get better results; • $44 million to support agriculture and aquaculture, and improve biosecurity; • A $37 million boost to tourism, including $11 million for marketing, $8 million for Parks, $6 million to support the Cycle Tourism strategy, and an additional $6.8 million to Cradle Mountain; Tasmanian Budget | 2017-18 Page 2 • $44.8 million to improve our child protection system and $53.4 million towards rebuilding Tasmania’s police service; • A $2 billion infrastructure spend right around the state, including $827 million on roads and bridges; • $27 million to continue the very important fuel reduction program; and • An additional $100 million into the TT-Line Ship Replacement Fund.

  • 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.

  • 19Th February, 2010 Bruce Taylor Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner
    19th February, 2010 Bruce Taylor Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner GPO Box 300 HOBART, Tasmania 7001 [email protected] Electoral Act 2004, Section 191 – Electoral matter on the Internet Dear Bruce, The enacting and subsequent promise to repeal a section of electoral law in South Australia this year has brought attention to the fact that Tasmania has a similar regulation regarding electoral matter on the Internet. As you are aware, section 191 of the Electoral Act 2004 requires that any electoral content be authorised with name and address information. We the undersigned request that this section of law not to be enforced in relation to this election and for a review to be undertaken by the new parliament at its earliest convenience. No public interest would be served by enforcement of this law. Whilst section 191 has been in force during a previous state election, new social networking tools such as Blogs, Facebook and Twitter to name a few have risen to prominence and are used on a daily basis by thousands in Tasmania including political parties. These technologies present new challenges to compliance and enforcement. The definition of electoral matter is so broad that any mention of the election could be construed to fall under this definition. If you are unable to assure the public that this section will not be enforced, we believe that the public will: - Refuse to post about the election on the Internet, stifling legitimate debate, - Follow the letter of the law and proceed to publish their name with electoral matter which opens them up to a range of privacy infringements including physical or employment threats as well as identity fraud, or - Simply disregard the law requiring them to put their name and address to any “electoral matter” online.
