Where is Eric Abetz?

By Ella Haddad MP - Leader of Opposition Business in the House of Assembly

13 October 2026

Where is Eric Abetz?

 

It’s now been over a month since Eric Abetz fronted cameras, as the impacts of the deep and indiscriminate cuts he is making to services Tasmanians rely on take hold.

 

The Liberals need to explain why they are hiding the Treasurer from Tasmanians at a time when his decisions are having the most impact.

 

Is it the $1.5 billion worth of cuts he’s making to hospitals and programs like support for students with disability?

 

Is it to supress the Treasurer’s controversial views on conversion practices, even as the rest of the hard right speaks out?

 

Or have relations between the Premier and Treasurer completely broken down after the Premier hand-picked Bridget Archer to be his successor?

 

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

 

No amount of hiding the Treasurer in the dark like a vampire will reverse the Premier’s decision or the impact it has on Tasmanians
