Greens plan to destroy Tassie jobs

Thousands of Tassie jobs would be lost and the state’s economy shattered under the Greens plan to rewrite the state’s environmental laws.

The Greens are planning a state-based version of the Federal Government’s Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

The EPBC has been a massive brake on achieving a sensible balance between economic growth and environment protection, with many important economic projects stuck in limbo.

The Greens plan would devastate Tasmania’s economic future taking aim at our forestry, mining and primary industries, throwing Tasmanians onto the dole queue.

The last thing the state needs is more green tape and lawfare pushing Tasmania back into the dark days of a Labor-Green coalition.

We need to get the balance right to ensure sustainable, economic growth while continuing to protect our environment.

These sort of laws are exactly what a Coalition of Chaos would impose on our state.

Only a majority Rockliff Liberal Government can deliver the stability and certainty Tasmania needs.
