Tasmanian kids paying the price for 13 years of Liberal waste

Premier Rockliff’s decision to put Eric Abetz in charge of cutting jobs and services to pay for 13 years of Liberal waste is having real consequences for Tasmanians.

The Liberals have tried to convince Tasmanians that frontline services won’t be impacted, but it’s impossible to believe the $228 million worth of cuts Eric Abetz is making to education won’t affect learning in schools.

Educators and parents speaking out today about the Liberals’ plans to cut the Inclusive Practice Team demonstrates that children’s futures are at stake.

This team provides invaluable support to teachers and families so kids with disability and complex learning needs can get the most out of their schooling.

Tasmanian children with disability and their families shouldn’t have to pay the price for 13 years of Liberal waste, but under Premier Rockliff and Eric Abetz they are.
