Mr Abbott and Federal State Levels

federal state levels: Since the election of Liberal administrations at both federal and state levels, the apple isle has shown an admirable upturn in fortune, he said."Thanks to a good government in Canberra and over the last 12 months or so, a very good government in Hobart, Tasmania has gone from being just a great place to live and a great place to visit, to being a great place to work and a great place to invest."Mr Abbott cited the creation of 10,000 jobs in Tasmania over the past two years, according to Nine News Australia. In the past 12 months, business investment has grown five per cent, private investment is up eight per cent and construction investment is up 15 per cent."Confidence is surging back into the Tasmanian economy," Mr Abbott said. That seemed to be the message from Prime Minister Tony Abbott who was the star guest at Saturday state Liberal Party conference in Hobart. He used the opportunity to champion the benefits for Tasmania of Australia pending free trade agreement with China."Trade means jobs and more trade means more jobs and more jobs mean more prosperity, it as simple as that," the prime minister said. Mr Abbott chastised Labor for standing in the way of the trade deal and there was also some general dressing down of the opposition."What Labor are doing is saying no about everything that bright about our future," the prime minister said. Tasmania wine, beef, lamb, cheese and seafood are just some of the products with a great appeal for the Chinese market, he added. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
