Tasmanian Opposition Leader Rebecca White told Sky News COVID-19 is not the single issue which will decide the state election since jobs, affordable housing and healthcare are also in focus. “That’s certainly not the one issue that people are raising with me every single day and it’s certainly been this way for a while now,” she said.
“Tasmania’s been fortunate to be an island off the beautiful big island that we haven’t had the same sort of outbreaks of COVID that you’ve experienced there, so people here have been focused on other issues. “It is about access to affordable housing, it is about whether they can get a job, it is about whether they can access healthcare and they are the issues that people, I believe, will be voting on tomorrow.
