Today I announced I will be stepping aside as Labor Leader.
It has been an incredible honour and a role I have worked hard each day to undertake with integrity and purpose.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support.

Last night 554 health staff in Tasmania were sent a letter demanding they pay back the COVID allowance that was paid in recognition of their efforts during the pandemic.
The Premier has today defended this disgraceful letter.
Talk about wrong priorities.
#politas
It’s on! Let’s win this @TasmanianLabor and give Tasmanians a Government they can be proud of, that prioritises fixing the health system and puts people first #politas
Tasmanians deserve a Government that cares about them.
They deserve better health care.
They deserve a roof over their head. They deserve a good education and a strong TAFE.
We owe it to our children to make Tasmania a better and fairer state.
This state election, vote Labor.
Started the morning speaking with @mjrowland68 about the election with a big focus on health and housing.
Too many Tasmanians have been left behind.
Tomorrow there is a clear choice.
If you want to solve the health crisis you need to vote Labor 1-5 on Saturday.
#politas
This election is a referendum on fairness
For patients waiting for healthcare
For free public education
For people over profits
For affordable housing
For women’s reproductive rights
For upholding the Tasmanian brand
For honest government
For our future - vote Labor

Angela spoke up about the lack of access to terminations in Tas because she didn’t want anyone else to go through what she did. She lost her job.
Public advocacy changes public policy, it changes law and changes lives. This is a distressing story #politas
Tasmania has taken a big step today to give our
community the best chance to cope with COVID-19.
Increased border controls is the most significant thing we can do right now to save lives.
All Tas Parliamentarians stand together in this decision.
Well done Premier

Thanks for all your support, @AlboMP and your commitment to the people of Tasmania.
Together we can change the Government and change people’s lives.

Election day.
Good luck to @bec_white and the Labor team.
Only one party will fix the health crisis and give Tasmanians a government that’s on their side – and that’s @TasmanianLabor.
Schools and non-essential services must close now.
No government has regretted taking decisive action early.
But they have regretted not taking action when they had the chance.
Let’s learn from their mistakes and do everything we can to save lives.

Clear as mud address from the PM tonight.
Funerals limited to 10 people.
Weddings limited to 5 people.
But schools. They’re fine to gather in their hundreds.

Well done to @WillHodgman on the result, on no doubt an emotional day with the loss of Vanessa.
I’m incredibly proud of the @TasmanianLabor campaign, our candidates and the values and issues we fought for. We didn’t get there this time but we can hold our heads high #politas
