| Summary, etc. |
In considering what should be the role of government in a community like Tasmania we need to understand the context within which we are working. We are a small population that is almost without exception a branch economy. No major corporations are based here - we have branch offices or divisions of major companies. We lack a managerial class - headquarters and management staff are based elsewhere - decisions made by the level of management based in our state do not take the welfare of the state into account. Our private sector does not have the capital and quite clearly the capacity to take up the challenge posed by a reduction of government services or a contraction of services. When public sector jobs are cut in Tasmania they stay cut. The private sector does not step into the breach and create jobs. Tasmania has always relied, to a large extent, on the public sector for its economic viability - with the contraction of public sector funding, the viability of the state's economy has been seriously eroded. - Reproduced |
