00:00A rock star welcome for a Labor leader still fresh in the job, hoping to offer the state
00:08a fresh start.
00:09My mate, your leader, a wonderful dad and friendly man, the next Premier of the great
00:17state of Tasmania, Dean Winter.
00:21Just over a year ago, Dean Winter became Labor leader, now he's hoping to lead them to victory
00:27after 11 years in the political wilderness.
00:30A tough ask given recent polling shows Labor trailing the Liberals.
00:35A broken health system, a housing crisis, a mountain of debt and record numbers of young
00:40people leaving this state.
00:42Families are struggling and what will four more years of the Liberals achieve?
00:46They've had their chance, they've made their choices.
00:49The unexpected early election largely came about due to the state of the budget, making
00:55the Federal Treasurer's presence rather symbolic.
00:58The Liberal waste, the overruns and the blowouts are costing Tasmanians dearly.
01:04They've added more than $13 billion in Liberal Tasmanian debt, while we've reduced Federal
01:11Liberal debt by $170 billion.
01:14The launch venue overlooks the river where the new spirit of Tasmania period should be
01:19docked, something speakers were happy to highlight.
01:23But Mr Winter's speech didn't dwell on the spirit saga or the state's finances.
01:28Instead, he focused on core Labor issues of health, housing and cost of living, and doubling
01:34down on one of the party's signature policies.
01:37Ten new free doctor clinics right around the state, working hand in hand with the Federal
01:42Labor government, powered by Medicare, will make sure that Tasmanians can access free doctor
01:47appointments no matter where they live.
01:52The Liberals have matched Labor's original commitment to five government-run GP clinics,
01:56but won't match the new promise of ten, calling it a desperate last-ditch campaign con.
02:02At a farm in the state's northeast, the Premier positioned the Liberals as defenders of the
02:08agricultural industry, claiming the Greens plan to force farmers to cut livestock numbers
02:14to reduce emissions.
02:15The Greens, with their policies, will drive up the price of meat and drive up the price of milk
02:24for Tasmanian families.
02:25The Greens deny this, saying their plan is to incentivise farmers to reduce emissions,
02:30which is already state government policy.
