It is a pleasure to rise to speak in support of the Appropriation Bill (No. 1) and cognate bills. It is a shame that all the previous speaker said is that all Tasmanians are hearing is cuts, cuts, cuts. Perhaps that is because she is the one out there spreading that message, rather than some of the good things in the budget for Tasmania, particularly the nearly $40 million for the Hobart International Airport runway extension and also the numerous tourism projects that will be happening throughout Tasmania. I note that they criticised some of the tourism projects—for instance, the one to extend the tours of the Cadbury factory.
