A message from
Labor Leader Dean Winter.

Hi, I’m Dean. I’m a proud husband and dad to two great kids and Leader of the Tasmanian Labor Party.

I was born on Tasmania’s glorious West Coast, where my dad worked at the Mount Lyell Mine and my mum was a nurse at the Queenstown Hospital. They were good, secure jobs that put food on our table and a roof over our heads, and gave them a secure foundation to give me opportunities in life.

All Tasmanians deserve the same security and the same opportunities. That’s why, under my leadership, Labor stands for jobs. Safe, secure, well-paid jobs. We always have. We support workers and the key industries that employ Tasmanians, across all sectors including tourism and hospitality, education and care, and construction and resources.

School wasn’t easy for me as a young kid, but I got the support I needed to reach my potential. I want every Tasmanian to be able to say the same. And I want our young people to have great career options here in our state, so they want to stay in Tasmania to work and raise a family.

My Labor team and I know there is work to be done to build a better Tasmania. We will focus on the creation of good jobs, with good pay and good conditions, because I believe that to deliver better healthcare, better education, affordable housing and lower cost of living we need a state that has a strong and growing economy.

We will work to hold the government to account, but we will also work hard to show Tasmanians that Labor offers a better alternative for Tasmania’s future.
