Labor's Tasmania success due to ‘very strong anti-Dutton sentiment'
Incoming Labor MP for Lyons Rebecca White says the Albanese government's success in Tasmania was due to a 'very strong anti-Dutton sentiment'.
'The second reason that I think explains the result in Tasmania was that there was a very strong anti-Dutton sentiment that I was picking up when I was doorknocking, and that was due to the fact that he didn't seem to have a clear plan for Tasmania,' Ms White told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
'There was also concern about the threat of cuts to Medicare and a push for nuclear, which Tasmanians don't see a place for in our state.'

'When Bono speaks like this, he seems to forget … this is money that American taxpayers work for and hand over to the federal government to be well used. 'USAID's money was not well used; it was an incredible political entity.'
