The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has expressed deep concern about today’s salmon announcement by the Liberals.
“Business and industry requires policy certainty in order to invest and create jobs”, TCCI CEO Michael Bailey said.
“We just had an election where both major parties expressed strong support for the salmon industry, which resulted in a Parliament where over two thirds of the elected members nominally support that sector,” Mr Bailey said.
“Yet now, as a result of post-election political machinations, we have a completely different policy announcement which turns that upside down.
“Today’s decision sends the message that Tasmania is not a safe place to do business,” Mr Bailey said.
