Liberals’ desperation and incompetence reaches shocking new low

04 July 2025

With the last remaining bank branch on the West Coast set to close, Labor is standing with the local community.
We are meeting with Bendigo Bank representatives later today to voice the concerns of West Coast residents.
It is shocking news that Bendigo Bank in Queenstown is to be closing in late September.
This means the closest bank branch will be in Burnie,152km and a two-hour drive away.
It’s easy to say people should bank online or in Burnie, but a lot of West Coasters simply can't do that.
Labor has already spoken to West Coast Mayor Shane Pitt about the impending closure and its impact on the community.
We will always continue to advocate for good local services for regional Tasmanians.
