Should the Coalitiion be elected, there will be compensation paid to sawmillers and forest contractors.

Bryan Green should apologise for his comment

The Federal election gives the chance for the people to decide on the disastrous forestry deal

Labor's Federal Lyons MP - Dick Adams - "the Greens are bad for jobs, bad for investment and bad for Tasmania"

Not one State Labor MP has been seen with a Federal Labor MP or candidate during the run up to the election

Secret Forestry Tasmania emails reveal the devasation of our speciality timbers

There is now no reason why the job destroying forestry deal shouldn't be torn up completely

The Libs tohold Labor and the Green to account for their utter failure when it comes to jobs.

New figures released today show that the unemployment rate has jumped again to 8.4 per cent.

This week’s jobs summit is an admission of failure from Labor and the Greens. Tasmanians know that the only way to get the economy growing and to create jobs is to get rid of the disastrous Labor-Green experiment. Since Lara Giddings became Premier, nearly 10,000 full time jobs have disappeared. When it comes to jobs, Lara Giddings is the worst Premier Tasmania has had in 30 years. While Labor continues to offer excuses, the Liberals have developed a Jobs Plan. Our plan focuses on economic growth, more investment, more jobs and less red and Green tape.

When it comes to jobs, Lara Giddings is the worst Premier Tasmania has had in the last 30 years (see attached). Under Premier Giddings around 10,000 full time jobs have disappeared.

It's time for David O'Byrne to come clean on the process for allocating forest deal funding. We have been contacted by a number of people over the last two days angry that the work they put into applications for funding has apparently been ignored.

Lara Giddings bet the state budget on the carbon tax remaining unchanged and she has lost. Ms Giddings must explain how she will deal with a reduction in Hydro revenue of potentially tens of millions of dollars as a result of Kevin Rudd’s plans to remove the carbon tax.*

Today I met with a Tasmanian business owner who expects to be forced out of business by the end of the year as a result of Labor shutting down forestry to please the Greens. The forest deal has been a politically motivated disaster right from the start. It has locked up our vital timber resources, closed down businesses and claimed hundreds of jobs all in the promise of a peace which has never eventuated.
