00:00So this is just another step forward. We are taking a step forward today. I am as

00:08enthusiastic about this project and all the opportunities that it will bring as

00:14I've always been and my passion and my commitment to this project the Tasmanian

00:21Devils and the aspirations of our young people has only strengthened my resolve

00:28as a result of the report today. We can do this and there will be members of

00:34Parliament in both the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly that

00:37will have the final say on this project as we always said it would. I mean this

00:43is intergenerational infrastructure this is not just for the next three to five

00:48years this is for the next 30, 40, 50 years. This is intergenerational

00:54infrastructure that will build aspiration amongst our young people, give

01:00opportunity and hope to young people and I want to keep young people here in

01:04Tasmania. Indeed the Devils footy teams already attracted people to Tasmania to

01:11live to work here and bring their families here and so I am not going to

01:16give up on this project. This is going to have huge economic benefits for Tasmania

01:25right across every corner of Tasmania and build that aspiration and you cannot put

01:29a value on keeping young people in Tasmania and building hope and aspiration.
