Labor’s Tasmania success due to ‘very strong anti-Dutton sentiment’
Incoming Labor MP for Lyons Rebecca White says the Albanese government’s success in Tasmania was due to a “very strong anti-Dutton sentiment”.
“The second reason that I think explains the result in Tasmania was that there was a very strong anti-Dutton sentiment that I was picking up when I was doorknocking, and that was due to the fact that he didn’t seem to have a clear plan for Tasmania,” Ms White told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
“There was also concern about the threat of cuts to Medicare and a push for nuclear, which Tasmanians don’t see a place for in our state.”
