Archer minding the shop, Eric Abetz still pulling the strings

No matter who Premier Rockliff chooses to mind the shop while he jets off to Japan, Tasmanians will still know that Eric Abetz is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The Premier put Mr Abetz in charge of cutting jobs and services to pay for 13 years of Liberal waste.

Despite our hospitals being at breaking point, Health Minister Bridget Archer hasn’t just watched on while Eric Abetz is cutting $700 million from the healthcare system, she’s backed him in.

Unless Minister Archer is going to use her week as Acting Premier to stand up to Eric Abetz and protect Tasmania’s health system from such massive cuts, then this week will be business as usual.
