However, Jan Davis, from the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association, said over-regulation driven by a bloated public sector was holding farmers back.
"They could get off our backs with all their red tape," Ms Davis said, pointing to a report showing unnecessary regulation could be costing producers up to 25 per cent of their turnover -- hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
She points to the need for Dunalley farmers to come up with a forest practices plan to bulldoze trees burned by bushfire or a berry farmer needing a building permit for poly tunnels because the council deemed they were "habitable structures".
"There are examples as long as your arm. The business of stamping the date stamps on egg shells, the decisions around caged eggs and sow stalls, the need for disabled toilets in shearing sheds," she said.

I hadn't heard about disabled toilets in shearing sheds before, that really brought a smile to my face.

Tasmania has been in a recession since the 1870's.

Are the figures used to determine employment the same as those 35 years ago?
Considering the headline employment rate and income:house price ratio, it seems odd the RE situation in Hobart is defying gravity. There is virtually no decent stock available at 500k.
Maybe there will be, now that both parties, in a rare piece of legislation, both approved to remove the veto power of the Wellington Park Management Trust - so now there is likely to be a giant ugly chairlift blighting that beautiful iconic vista, all for some egomaniac's desire.
That mountain is one of the nicest attractions, being so close to Hobart and it needs no "improvement". It looks like the invisible magnate, trying for decades, will finally get their way.

I suppose the new development will be trumpeted as a job spinner in the Mockery, no doubt subsidised by the taxpayer.
That newspaper is one of the worst ever. Why the hell is there no competition?

Boneyard..I offer a couple of ideas..I don't have a red, blue, green or yellow hat.. So I'll put on my tartan one. 
suggestion 1...Get the Hobart Boat Club to run mock races from the Mouth of the Derwent River to Constitute
Dock. Three or Four days a week to star with.. $60 a ticket for the boat ride, lunch at the dock with some of that great Tassie food for $50 and tourist post cards etc.
suggestion 2. Attract more tourists by having chartered planes fly in from Melbourne, The cost to be divided up Tas government, Federal Government, Local government, motels and hotels, Casinos, tourist operators,Cadbury's and any other tourist operators. $100 tickets into Hobart from Melbourne..One Jumbo a month to start with. 500 extra visitors a year..see how it goes..then maybe two a month.
Needs full co-operation between all parties.
What do you think Boneyard.
Regards Errol 43

Jumbo jets can not land at Hobart INTERNATIONAL airport.
Tony promised to extend the runway, but you know about promises.
I kind of like the slower pace.
No traffic lights from Sorrell to St Helens.
the 10 years I have eV been here has seen some progress , but who says progress is good?
some other good replies also.
Tasmania's biggest problem is that it's a part of Australia.
What's good for Australia isn't necessarily good for Tassie.
That's not tassie bashing. My fathers side of the family are Tasmanian (I'm a Queenslander through & through). Canberra doesn't give Tassie a second thought when they negotiate with foreign powers.

Is this the case where an industry with eg high deductibles or a preferential tax rate to spur investment is described as 'subsidised'? Those are not subsidies.... But it makes the Deep Greens reading it feel warm and fuzzy that they helped destroy a whole industry.
I have a friend in NW Tasmania, who has worked in both private and public sector. These well meaning people saying tourism can be a viable industry forget the Deep Greens hate that too. When my friend was involved in trying to get a proper airport built in the NW so tourists can actually get there, the greens shouted it down with help from a compliant national media. When the proposal for a new road down the western coast was suggested to open up the area to tourism, the greens shouted it down again with help from their compliant national media.
The Deep Greens are not so much "Green" in Tasmania, more just completely anti-human. Don't know how you tolerate them Boneyard.
If the Greens had their way here we would be living like the Amish, horse and kart. The mongrels have stood in the way of development here for years. People blame lib and labor but its those pain in the arse do gooders that stop development.
Eco hotels have even been halted by them on the east coast. Cant fart here without some tree hugging hippie complaining about gas emissions.

Baby dutch are great and to clarify, they are cheaper in Sydney than Tas - despite a premium on them in Tas. Nothing wrong with pinkeyes, just no reason to travel to Tassie for them. 4 bucks a kilo is a bit rich for a spud.
Tasmania, historically underrated, is overrated in terms of price. That is starting to show itself in the more regional areas, with closures such as McCain in the NW. Statistics on the proportion of the population that receives a benefit or is employed by the public service would be revealing.
Perhaps the bigger issues are an insular mindset, the media bottleneck and the culture of intergenerational welfare buttressing a rabid and influential leftist lobby infiltrating media, parliament, taxpayer quango and gold plated permanent employment in the 'public service'.
And from what I remember, it seems only a few handfuls of dynastic families own the majority of private land.
