The TCCI is the voice of business in Tasmania and is backing the Tasmanian Government’s Team Tasmania approach at the upcoming federal election.
TCCI Chair, Wayne Davy, said the priorities outlined in the Tasmanian Government Team Tasmania platform were sensible and had the full support of the business community.
“The upcoming federal election is vitally important for Tasmania and we congratulate the Tasmanian Government for showing leadership and taking forward an agenda that will help communities right around the State and the economy,” Mr Davy said.
“Importantly, the Team Tasmania platform includes issues raised by the TCCI in our own election document released yesterday.
“As the TCCI platform highlighted, we need to make the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme fairer for Tasmanian exporters and we need to make sure that the EPBC Act is fit for purpose and isn’t being used as a handbrake on jobs and investment.
“We also support the other initiatives listed in the Team Tasmania document, such as supporting major industries, developing a skilled workforce, building more homes, reducing red tape and investments in other shovel ready projects.
“We urge both major parties to make sure they are part of Team Tasmania at the federal election.”
