00:01Putting pen to paper for the RACT to deliver his signature election policy.
00:08To lean into these issues and find long-term, sustainable, cost-effective solutions to genuinely help.
00:15During last year's election campaign, the Premier promised a state-owned insurance company
00:20with policies to save households $250 a year and small businesses 20%.
00:27Instead, TasInsure will partner with the RACT to address challenges in the insurance industry.
00:34Insurance, affordability and accessibility is the number one issue that's affecting the future viability of the tourism industry in this
00:41state.
00:41As for the Premier's big savings claims...
00:44That commitment, I've no doubt, will be delivered and potentially more.

01:31The Premier said he'd look to have something implemented by the end of the winter break.

01:48The Premier of the Government is a bit a few.
01:48Yes, we can point the last two days to the new government.
01:50Let's ask the blue government to get there.
01:50We're personally looking for this.
01:51We do not want towash, but the new government,
