FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Tasmanian Opposition Leader Will Hodgman says the Liberal Party is ready to govern the state, citing its decade-high standing in the polls.
Last November, Mr Hodgman told the Liberals’ state council that the party needed to have a “good hard look at itself” after failing to win state government and suffering a substantial swing away from it at the federal election.
But addressing the 2011 council in Hobart on Sunday, Mr Hodgman said the Liberals had taken great leaps forward in the intervening months.
“We are a resurgent and potent political force again,” he said.
“We are a team that is ready to govern the state, and govern the state properly.”
Mr Hodgman said the state’s most recent polling showed the strength of the party in the past year.
“The last poll, which was released in May this year, shows that for the first time in over a decade our support exceeds that of the Labor Party and the Greens combined,” he said.
“It is a small indicator, and the only poll we’re concerned about is that next election, but it is an indication that we’re heading in the right direction.
“We are well positioned to win that next election, whenever it might be.”
Mr Hodgman has renewed the party’s pledge on several policies, including making all Tasmanian high schools run from years seven to 12, merging the state’s four water and sewerage bodies, and protecting frontline workers in any public-sector cutbacks.
He also promised to tear up the $276 million inter-governmental agreement on forestry, which protects 430,000 hectares of high conservation value forests and provides exit funding for companies and compensation for workers.
Meanwhile, the council defeated a proposal to support euthanasia legislation.
