Tasmanians need wages that compete in a national market, to be able to afford to live here, and to fix public services. The Tasmanian Government can play a significant role in lifting the wages of Tasmanians and whoever forms the next government will need to be proudly pro-worker.

- There will be no cost-of-living relief without decent wage rises.
- To fix services, you need market rates of pay.
- The incoming Government must prioritise worker safety and legislate for industrial manslaughter as a matter of urgency.
