Abetz’ terrifying $700m cuts to health will hurt Tasmanians

Premier Rockliff has put Eric Abetz in charge of cutting jobs and the services Tasmanians rely on to pay for 13 years of Liberal waste.

The most terrifying of those extreme cuts are the $700 million worth Mr Abetz has announced for Tasmania’s struggling health system.

Despite the best efforts of our health workers, Tasmania’s health system is already at breaking point.

According to the Productivity Commission, Tasmania is already the worst performing state in the nation for emergency health and ambulance services.

It is impossible to believe that Eric Abetz can gut $700 million from the system without hurting Tasmanians even more.
