Thank you, Senator Tyrrell, for the question. No, you would not have missed the fact that our government has committed very strongly to Tasmania. We have delivered on our election commitment to increase assistance under the Tasmania Freight Equalisation Scheme and we are backing Tasmanian communities and businesses by boosting the TFES payment by 25 per cent for the next two years so they do get a fair go.
