00:00From one side of the state to the other, Tasmanians have diverse views about what matters most.
00:09It's definitely issues with cost of living for houses.
00:13Our healthcare needs improving.
00:17Fish farms, I don't want it here. I'm dead against it.
00:20Like with the bulk billing, I think with the doctor's surgery it's very hard to get in.
00:24Number one is the spiritual needs of people.
00:27Reducing the cost of healthcare to increase accessibility.
00:30Housing, jobs and education, they're always the three main staples.
00:34With the election campaign now officially underway, the major parties are pulling out the placards and rolling out the slogans.
00:42It's a clear choice between Labor and building Tasmania's future, or Peter Dutton who will cut services and make Tasmanians pay.
00:51Their budget is nothing more than a plan for the next five weeks, not for the next five years.
00:57In contrast, a coalition-led government would get Australia back on track.
01:02Put us into balance of power, we will keep Peter Dutton out and we will make Labor into a more progressive, fairer government.
01:10The most marginal seat in the state is Lyons where the two main candidates are a former state Labor leader and the chief executive of an economic development group.
01:20I understand what our community needs and they need a strong voice who's got experience to represent them in Canberra and I can deliver on that.
01:27People are looking for something a little bit different, someone with real life experience that's actually had a career outside of politics
01:34and actually knows what it's like to struggle and to not come from what I call a silver spoon environment.
01:41An early taste of the personal and political battles set to play out over the next five weeks.
