As for Tasmania, I will take the advice of the Tasmanians. This business, Tassal, established this refinery on the east coast of Tasmania with a $3.85 million grant from the Commonwealth Tasmanian Jobs and Growth Package. Through innovation, it is working with Australian pharmaceutical companies like Blackmores to develop new products that are innovative, traceable, sustainable and of high value, and that will lead to exports all around the world. It is through things like Tassal and their innovation that new jobs are being created. Yesterday, there was an example from the member for Bass's electorate which I cannot get to in the time available to me today.

This is a government that is determined to create jobs and growth, using innovation and industry to do so, while the Labor Party of course stands in the way of the government's policies to grow jobs and create a better economy.
