flag Tasmanian public workers strike over pay, citing unsafe conditions and underfunding, while rejecting a 3% one-year offer.

flag Public sector workers in Tasmania, including teachers, health staff, and support workers, continued industrial action on October 30, protesting a government offer of a one-year, 3% pay rise and criticizing the allocation of $1.13 billion for a stadium and $75 million for a ferry bailout. flag Workers cited unsustainable workloads, unsafe conditions, under-resourcing, and a brain drain to mainland states due to lower pay. flag While the Australian Education Union has no immediate plans for further strikes, other unions, including the Tasmanian Health and Community Services Union, plan to escalate actions that could impact government revenue. flag The government maintains the offer is fair and affordable amid a projected $13 billion debt by 2027/28.
