Flanked by the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania and the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Premier Jeremy Rockliff unveiled the Team Tasmania 2025 Federal Election Economic Priorities.

"We are calling on the future Federal Government to get onboard Team Tasmania by investing in our State.
"The Team Tasmania election economic priority list outlines 11 initiatives that - no matter who is in Canberra - we want them to commit to for the future of Tasmania.
"These economic priorities include immediate action on the Freight Equalisation Scheme, developing Bilateral Deals to unlock key economic growth projects, red tape reduction, the Cradle cableway, more housing funding and insurance reforms."

"Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future, we are already taking action on the things that matter most to Tasmanians to ensure our State thrives.
"Now it is time for all sides of federal politics to invest in Tasmania's future prosperity.
"Together with industry, we are united in our push for federal investment in Tasmania's infrastructure pipeline and its people, helping to create jobs and keep the economy strong."
