Standing with Liberty Bell Bay workers

Tasmanian Labor continues to stand in support with the workers at Liberty Bell Bay.

With the cost-of-living crisis biting family budgets, Tasmanian families across the state are facing challenges to keep up with the bills, even with secure jobs.

The situation at Liberty Bell Bay is placing families with at-risk jobs in an incredibly tough position, and there are serious concerns about the mental health impact on everyone involved.

As Federal and State Governments continue to work on a package, there is clear overwhelm in the community. It is important that people are cared for in every way possible with support to manage and understand their immediate financial commitments, and access to counsellors if they are feeling extra mental health pressures.

Workers and Tasmanians expect cooperation during this difficult time and it is critical that all levels of government are able to work together to ensure workers can keep being paid and jobs and people are protected.
