The Liberal Party has unveiled a 100-day plan that includes more than 147 specific commitments it says will be rolled out if it holds onto government.
Leading the plan is the creation of a state-owned insurance provider TasInsure, which the party claims will deliver cheaper premiums for Tasmanian households and small businesses.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff, speaking on the final day of the campaign, said the plan also includes immediate health improvements like legislation to allow interstate prescriptions to be filled locally.
Other promises include planning for a new hospital in the state’s north, rolling out free school breakfasts to more schools and appointing Tasmania’s first Minister for Ageing.
Legislation to allow renters to keep pets is also part of the 100-day plan.
“[It is] a very clear plan and set of actions that we will deliver in our first 100 days of our new government,” Rockliff said.
“We were through our fifth 100-day plan when Dean Winter decided, through his inexperience and a rush of blood to the head, to force Tasmania into an election.”
Changes to aviation attraction fund guidelines will be made within 100 days, aimed at unlocking ‘tens of thousands’ more airline seats to grow visitor numbers to the island.
The premier also committed to releasing updated costings for the new Spirit of Tasmania ferries within 100 days and said key performance indicators would be set for all ministers in the same period.
He urged voters to back a majority Liberal government, warning against handing power to “single-issue, radical independents” chasing “pet projects”.
“What we need is a parliament that works for the Tasmanian people and is not led by an inexperienced Labor leader that’s forced everyone to an election,” he said.
“We’re committed to making a positive difference for the Tasmanian people. We were elected to do a job back in March 2024 and we need to finish that job for Tasmania.”
