In state news, Tasmania will be holding an election tomorrow with politicians making their last pitches to voters.

Australia’s only Liberal government, led by Jeremy Rockliff, is aiming for a record fourth straight term at Saturday’s poll while Labor is chasing power after a decade in opposition.

Premier Jeremy Rockliff and Labor leader Rebecca White have traded barbs over financial management in the dying stages of the campaign.

Forecasts point to budget deficits over the forward estimates and net debt growing to $6.1 billion in four years’ time.

Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie, who was on ABC earlier, is running candidates in several electorates for the Jacqui Lambie Network.

She said she didn’t want to feel “too confident” about the election, adding she had high hopes but wanted to remain realistic.

“My candidates have real life experience. They haven’t come up through the same political area that the rest of them have. They will offer integrity,” she said.

Lambie said the Liberal Party had ten years in power, and the state was “worse off” than when they first came into power.

Premier Jeremy Rockliff also appeared on the ABC, to persuade voters to continue to support the Liberal Party.

“We’re the only party that can win majority and I urge Tasmanians for that majority government to vote Liberal tomorrow to restore that certainty and stability so we can keep moving forward,” he said.

Tasmanian Labor leader Rebecca White said the plan was ensuring people in the state were treated fairly.

“What we bring with our plan is really tackling some of those key challenges and making sure Australians pay Tasmanian price for power, building more houses, hospitals.”
