Waverley community has been conned
The Bartlett Labor government has failed to properly consult and respect the wishes of the Waverley Primary School community in its rush to merge the school with St Leonards Primary School.

Let’s reclaim our great city
There’s no doubting that Launceston is a spirited and beautiful city. It’s inhabited by people of effort, enterprise, enthusiasm, creativity, sport, community and culture. Just taking a stroll around some central city blocks with eyes lifted up above the awnings tell us our stories in stone: the growth and development of a modern regional city in response to a growing and developing community. …

A Hodgman Liberal Government will raise education standards by overhauling Tasmania Tomorrow and investing $30 million in revitalising our high schools, focussing on results, and providing more support to our students and teachers.
