I am honoured to have been endorsed by my colleagues to lead the Labor Party in Tasmania, with Anita Dow as my deputy.

As I said when I first put my hand up, a Labor Party I lead will stand first and foremost for creating and maintaining good, well paid, safe and secure jobs to help Tasmanian families, and the Tasmanian economy.

By focussing on jobs, a Labor Party I lead will support Tasmanian industry and small business.

By focussing on jobs, a Labor Party I lead will support families to manage the cost of living.

By focussing on jobs, a Labor Party I lead will support the workers who keep our essential public services going.

I am grateful to my colleagues for trusting me with this opportunity, and I look forward to continue working with them towards our vision for a better Tasmania.
