Tasmanians for a Better Future

Tasmanians for a Better Future

Tasmanians for a Better Future is a group of concerned business and community members that was formed to influence peoples' votes in the 2006 Tasmanian state election.

The group placed many advertisements encouraging people to vote for majority government to avoid risking a minority government being elected, which they argued would be disastrous for commerce and industry within the state.

A confirmed member of this group is Tasmanian businessman Michael Kent, former head of Woolworths in Tasmania.

The advertisements were under the name of Tony Harrison, who runs the Corporate Communications public relations company.
