Good morning everyone, a quick update from me regarding Mac Point. This is a once in a generation project. One that we cannot afford to not deliver. That’s why I’ve fought so hard on this, for years now. We’re working on tight timeframes- I don’t want to wait another second to bring our AFL dream to life. Any delays impact our ability to build an AFL club. To hire key staff. To build a High Performance Centre in Kingston. To send a message to workers finishing up on major projects like the Bridgewater Bridge that the next big project is coming. It has become clear over the last week that the current process is undermining confidence in the future of the project. So we’ll be bringing laws into Parliament to get the Mac Point Precinct approved. And we’ll be doing it next month. Every Member of the Tasmanian Parliament will have their say on this project - just as the current process requires. And every Tasmanian will have the chance to give their feedback, to inform the legislation. But make no mistake, this has already been the most scrutinised project in Tasmanian history. And I'm taking this action because I believe it’s in the best interests of our great State. It’s time to get building.
