SCOTT BACON Opposition Spokesman for Tourism and Hospitality Opposition Report
You can all my office on 6212 2383 to arrange a meeting or get in touch via social media or by visiting one of the Labor electorate offices across the state. We mean it when we say we want to hear from as many THA members as possible. On another matter, Labor was very pleased to see the Liberal Government back our plan to make Drysdale a stand-alone centre of excellence. But the Liberals should go further and adopt Labor’s positive policy to restore TasTafe and give industry a greater say in skills and training across the board. We want to restore confidence across TasTafe through greater links with industry and ensuring that at least 70 per cent of public training dollars go to the public provider. Drysdale has the potential to be a world-leader when it comes to skills and training in the hospitality space. The hospitality, tourism and training sectors can have confidence going forward with both sides of politics in agreement when it comes to the future of Drysdale.
The parliamentary report into the future of gaming markets in Tasmania has been released after a comprehensive inquiry which heard from all sides of the debate. Labor understands there is strong interest in our position on the issue from many THA members and the organisation’s leadership. We have been consistent about our approach to the inquiry and our subsequent policy decisions. We wanted to participate in the hearings with an open mind and use the evidence presented and the committee’s recommendations to help inform our policy position. Now the committee has reported we will closely consider the findings and form a clear, considered policy position to present to the Tasmanian people before the next election. Labor wants to hear from as many THA members are possible on this issue, no matter where you stand on the issue. Labor Leader Rebecca White has consistently said that the Labor Party is committed to supporting vulnerable people, but also ensuring that we look after working Tasmanians, particularly in our regions. Please make contact with me or your local Labor MP to have your say.
