Tasmania's major parties outline their visions ahead of the upcoming election

Northern Tasmanian Labor candidates gathered in Launceston on Sunday to put forward their plan for the future of Tasmania.

Making up the Labor team ahead of May's election are federal member for Lyons Brian Mitchell MP, Tasmanian Labor Senators Anne Urquhart and Helen Polley, Labor candidate for Bass Ross Hart, and Labor candidate for Braddon Chris Lynch.

Mr Hart outlined the party's push for action in Northern Tasmania in the areas of aged care, health and manufacturing.

"The Morrison Liberal government recently delivered a budget without vision, nothing for Northern Tasmania, no jobs for Northern Tasmania, nothing to realise the hydrogen potential for Northern Tasmania," he said.

"Labor has a vision for Northern Tasmania which sees people in manufacturing jobs, in health care and in aged care being supported."

Federal member for Lyons Brian Mitchell said that Labor does not want to see Tasmania left out, saying that the state has been neglected for a number of years during Liberals governance.

"What we face now is a clear choice, three more years of the same failed Scott Morrison government which has left Tasmania off the map for three years and he's been part of a government that has left Tasmania off the map for nine years," he said.

"We are a better future with Anthony Albanese and the Labor team. A better future that will fixed aged care and protect Medicare and deliver cheaper childcare that will take pressure off household budgets and grow the economy.

"The Labor team has a positive vision for this country that will unite Australia and that's what we can count on with Anthony Albanese. He is a leader that will never go missing in a crisis and he will be a Prime Minister that we can count on and be proud of again."

Mr Mitchell said Scott Morrison has "left the election to the last minute" and that he is "running scared and will run a scare campaign."

"If we want to get rid of Scott Morrison we have to vote Labor in Braddon, Labor in Bass and Labor in Lyons, Labor in Franklin and Labour in Clark and Labor in the Senate. We mustn't forget the Senate when it comes to the Labor vote," he said.

"We need to get more Labor senators into the Senate, so I am very confident that throughout this campaign people can make a judgement of who they want as their Prime Minister. Do they want the same with Scott Morrison or do they want a better future with Anthony Albanese."

Labor will now hit the campaign trail across Tasmania ahead of the May 21^st election day.

After news out of Canberra revealed a federal election date had been called, several Tasmanian members and senators of the Liberal party addressed the state's voters.

Outside of the Longford Memorial Hall on Sunday Senator Jonathon Duniam urged Tasmanian's planning on voting for Labor to reconsider, citing the government's "proven track record".

He said the Liberal party would continue growing Tasmania's economy, ensuring essential services like health and education were sufficiently provided for.

"Our plan is going to ensure that our state, and our country, continues to perform the way it has in terms of low unemployment numbers, the immense amount of economic activity that we're seeing across the country - particularly in regions - and the jobs that are being generated in small to medium businesses," he said.

"We will deliver the best plan for this state."

Bass Liberal MHR Bridget Archer said hoped her record of fighting hard for the people of Tasmania would allow her to secure the marginal seat of Bass once again.

"When I was first elected I said it was my intention to be a genuine and authentic representative for the people of Bass and I think I've honoured that promise, I've stood up for the people I represent, and I've delivered for them" she said.

"I'm hopeful that they will look to my record and give me another chance to continue that work and build on it as we go forward."

Liberal candidate for Lyons Susie Bower said she was looking forward to being part of Liberal's infrastructure investment plan roll out, particularly to ensure better roads, as well as improved GP and health services.

"I've worked with small communities all my life, and I also know how critical it is to have very connected communities,' she said.

Braddon Liberal MHR Gavin Pearce believed his work had translated in state and national recognition for the electorate.

"Now is not the time for a political experiment on what the other side will do, it's time we consolidate on what we've already done," he said.
