Labor and Rebecca White oppose Tamar Bridge

 

Labor Leader Rebecca White must come clean and tell Tasmanians whether she still opposes a new Tamar Bridge.

Labor has consistently opposed the project in contrast to the Rockliff Liberal Government which has submitted a costed business case to Canberra.

Our Government has already committed $80 million towards the construction of a second Tamar River crossing between the West Tamar Highway and the East Tamar Highway north of University Way in Newnham.

This strong commitment is in stark contrast to Labor, which has never committed to a second river crossing for the people of Launceston, including through election campaigns.

The Government's engineering consultants have finalised their work, including an extra alignment option, and the business case has now been submitted to Infrastructure Australia.

The challenge for Labor is to explain why they continue to get in the way of progressing this important project.

We all know Ms White is capable of her spectacular Becflips. This one is overdue.
