00:00 If I don't want an election, I want certainty. I want certainty and stability for Tasmanians.
00:06 And I've been committed to certainty. And of course, in 2021, we were elected a majority
00:14 government to deliver the policies that we took to the last election. Both Mr Tucker and Mrs
00:21 Alexander were part of that team. The team with all the policies and all the majority government
00:29 commitments in the 2021 election. I'm here to deliver that certainty for Tasmanians.
00:36 I don't want an election. I want certainty and stability for Tasmanians. We were elected a
00:42 majority government, a majority government to deliver on our commitments, not only for 2021,
00:49 but our long term plan since 2014, which has delivered 50,000 more jobs for Tasmanians,
00:56 which has delivered 2,500 frontline health staff in our health system, which has delivered more
01:04 teachers in our schools, and which has delivered new health infrastructure, roads, bridges,
01:09 education, new schools. We want to continue on that long term plan. We committed to that long
01:15 term plan in 2014, 2018, 2021, and I'm committed to it now. Both Mrs Alexander and Mr Tucker were
01:25 elected as Liberal members, Liberals, in a majority government. We need that certainty.
01:32 We need that stability on behalf of all Tasmanians.
