00:00A community that's been without a doctor for more than a year.
00:05Risdon Vale in the south of the state is one of five locations where Labor's promising
00:10to set up new bulk billing clinics in existing government owned facilities.
00:14And so we'll start Tassie Doc clinics everywhere across the state from Burnie, Devonport, Launceston,
00:20here in Risdon Vale, Glenorchy.
00:21This will provide accessibility to our community who really need it as well as those in neighbouring
00:27areas.
00:28Earlier this week, the Labor leader said clinic locations would be determined by consultation.
00:34The Liberals saying today's announcement smells political.
00:37The consultation we've done is with doctors and with communities and the community here
00:41has been crying out for a doctor for more than 12 months now.
00:47Access to perinatal counselling services, today's Liberal health focus.
00:52Promising $40,000 a year over four years.
00:55This funding is really important because the statistics are still quite jarring.
00:59One in five women and one in ten men will experience perinatal depression and anxiety.
01:06The Liberals are also hoping to improve police officer health and wellbeing by reforming rostering,
01:12starting with the larger stations.
01:14The changes would allow officers to work six days on, six off or four on, four off.
01:20It's all about backing in our frontline officers so that they can get the work-life balance that
01:26they need.
01:27Labor's also planning the same reform.
01:31It might be mid-winter, but with just a week to go until polling day, the heat is rising
01:36over election costings.
01:38Josh Willey and Dean Winter have released their costings with a $300 million black hole.
01:46It is absolutely ludicrous that he thinks that he can reheat his worst budget in the state's
01:52history and feed it to Tasmanians again.
01:54With the state in a major debt crisis and Treasury urging spending restraint, it's a balancing act
02:00for the major parties between making election pledges and at the same time trying to position
02:06themselves as the better fiscal manager.
02:09The Greens say both are bad news for the state's bottom line.
02:12We'll continue fighting to stop the stadium and ensuring that we as a state are investing
02:17in the healthcare, the housing that people need.
