The Rockliff Government has chalked up yet another terrible milestone in health
The Premier continues to insist on his plan to build an unnecessary $750 million plus football stadium – despite massive community backlash.
The response times for ambulances in Tasmania continue to spiral further out of control, with the latest HealthStats revealing a distressing new milestone.

News that a woman died at the Launceston General Hospital after being ramped for nine hours was tragic but, sadly, not surprising.
Yesterday the number of Covid hospitalisations reached a new peak of 184 – more than three times higher than the highest ever peak of 58 in April.
Today, Tasmania has also recorded 100 people in hospital who have Covid, as new subvariants spread rapidly in the community.
Predictably, Tasmanians hospitals are struggling as the current Covid wave continues.
