PAUL JUBB - State President
Presidents update
Although this is our first THA Magazine for 2018, the year has started off in a rush and the state election is less than 3 weeks away. On Saturday the 3rd March, Tasmania will once again ‘go to the polls’. Every state election is important for our state and this one is certainly no different. As I write this article, we are awaiting a ‘Hospitality Policy’ from all parties. The THA produced a detailed document that all members were provided with which focused on areas of concern and need for all members. The policy itself was a detailed 22 page document that if supported, will help every area of our industry to grow and prosper. Steve has held extensive meetings and conversations with all political parties that want to work with our industry and we are hopeful of strong support from those who engaged with us. As always, as we receive policies from the parties we will advise members straight away and provide you with all the details. What we propose to do is compare the policies we receive from the parties with the policy requests we gave them on behalf of our members and show you how they compare.
Having been in many of the meetings with political parties, we advised them that our role once we receive the policies is to share them with our members and let our members decide on who has provided the strongest support to our industry. So can I encourage all members over the next few weeks to monitor your e-mails and read any of the information that the THA sends out. As it is with every election, as an industry we must take note of those that support you and your business and staff and make sure your friends, family and customers know who to vote for. Come the 4th March, we must have a government that strongly supports you and your business and one that understands the importance of the Hospitality industry to our state and economy. Make sure your vote counts!!!
