The Rundle government is credited for its numerous reforms; including legalising homosexual acts in private, reforming gun laws, the Bass link initiative, signing the Regional Forests Agreement a small move towards more conservation in Tasmania and the handling of the Port Arthur Massacre.
The Premier, TonyRundle said a Liberal government would rewrite the state constitution so that budgets must be balanced each year, and introduce a law to prevent future governments going back into debt.
But Mr Rundle appears to have at least appeased the majority of Tasmania's public servants with the promise of 5.5 per cent payrise to be phased in over two years.
He was joined by PremierTonyRundle, who said he would not commit himself to the tax reform package until he saw details of the policies.
