Labor is taking Tasmania in the wrong direction: statement from Will Hodman

Thank goodness someone’s had the sense to show how Tasmania is the big loser from tonights Federal Budget.  Will Hodgman has exposed Labor for failing to make the tough decisions that are in the interests of our economy and community.
