Tasmanian students paying the price for Rockliff’s budget disaster

27 May 2025

Jeremy Rockliff can’t manage money and Tasmanian students are paying the price.

Documents forced out of the Treasurer (attached) confirm the Liberals have cut more than $11 million from schools, including $2.5 million from Year 11 and 12 education.

These cuts come as the interest-bill Tasmanians have to pay on Jeremy Rockliff’s record debt approaches $500 million a year.

Tasmania’s education results are already the worst of any state, and are going backwards.

Why should Tasmania’s young people suffer because the Premier can’t manage money?

Shadow Minister for Education & Early Years
