Portfolio — 11 May 2026
Tribune’s note
White used a PM media release on 11 May to make the case for the federal budget's impact on Tasmania, leading with a $1 billion health and hospital funding commitment rising to $1.1 billion by 2029–30. She anchored specific capital investments — $90 million for the Northern Heart Centre and $5 million for Northern Hospice — alongside $361 million for the Marinus Link to shield Tasmanians from transmission-cost increases on their electricity bills.
The release ranged well beyond White's core health portfolio, covering property tax reform, small business tax measures, and a joint housing announcement with Minister O'Neil for 4,000 new homes.
