COVID, horrific tales of child abuse, and a revolving door of ministers — look back at Tasmania's 2022
ABCIt was the year Tasmanians were urged to learn to live with COVID, reckoned with decades of abuse in state institutions, and lost the premier who had steered them through the pandemic. A "gladiator pit", a "war zone", a "kindergarten for the adult prison" — these are just some of the ways Tasmania's only youth detention centre has been described. Labor, which had a turbulent 2021, has had a reasonably steady year — although it's in administration after the national executive launched a mid-year intervention to "improve the culture" and "reinstate trust". "I think a lot of people are hoping next year's going to be a lot better because this year has been pretty tough on a lot of people, but I am very worried that the government doesn't seem to have a plan to make people's lives easier," Ms White said.
