Tasmania's moment of budget reckoning has arrived as the state government unveils across-the-board cuts to tackle mounting debt.
On Thursday, Treasurer Eric Abetz revealed the state will post a $597 million deficit in the coming financial year off the back of $216 million of cuts.
No department is spared, including health - the state's biggest line item - where $131 million worth of savings have been found 2026/27 alone.
