Ten Questions Julia Gillard Must Answer While Visiting Tasmania
Thursday, 15 July 2010 16:56
Julia Gillard cannot afford to ignore the concerns of Tasmanians during tomorrow’s fly in – fly out visit.
- Will the Prime Minister rule out using taxpayers’ money to buy-out Tasmanian forest industry jobs?
- Does the Prime Minister still support the Mark Latham forest policy, as she did in 2004?
- Will the Prime Minister give a guarantee that no Tasmanian mining company will be impacted by Labor’s proposed new mining tax?
- Why did Ms Gillard short-change Tasmanian cancer patients by $30 million?
- Where is the MRI machine for the North West coast that Sid Sidebottom promised?
- What is Ms Gillard doing to fix the debacle over the GP Super Clinics that Labor promised the Tasmanian people three years ago?
- Has the Prime Minister driven on the Midland Highway?
- Will she match the Coalition’s $400 million commitment to duplicate it?
- Given that Ms Gillard’s predecessor Kevin Rudd said that while he was Prime Minister union boss Kevin Harkins’ chances of becoming a Labor Senator would be “Buckley’s and none”, would Ms Gillard now support a reinvigorated Kevin Harkins Senate campaign?
- If she does, then would she also support Mr Harkins’ plan for Tasmania to be used as a regional processing centre for asylum seekers?
