23 For more details The importance of education

25 Educational attainment is also unambiguously correlated with earning capacity people who complete Year 12 have lifetime earnings which are 42% higher than those who leave school at Year 1, and 64% higher than those who do not go beyond Year 9; the lifetime of earnings of people who complete a bachelor s degree are 45-5% higher than those whose highest educational qualification is Year 12 while those of people with a higher degree are 66-74% higher than those of people whose highest educational qualification is Year 12.

28 Tasmania s poor educational participation and attainment rates are not primarily the result of an above- share of low SES households Year 12 completion rates, by socioeconomic status (SES), 214 Low Medium 9 % 9 % High 95 % pc pts pc pts pc pts NSW Vic Qld SA WA Tas np NT ACT 3 NSW Vic Qld SA WA Tas np NT ACT 6 np Note: Completion rates are estimated by calculating the number of students who meet the requirements of a year 12 certificate or equivalent expressed as a pc of the potential year 12 population. The potential year 12 population is an estimate of a single year age group which could have attended year 12 that year, calculated as the estimated resident population aged divided by five. WA figures in these charts are for 213, because WA changed the pre-year one entry age in 22 resulting in approximately half the normal intake of students for that year level, so that in 214, Year 12 in WA had significantly lower enrolments when compared to the population of the year 12 age group. Source: Productivity Commission, Report on Government Services 216 School Education, Table 4A.124.
29 Nor are Tasmania s poor educational participation and attainment rates the result of insufficient government spending on education State and Territory government spending on primary and secondary education, Per full-time equivalent student As a percentage of gross state product 2 $ per FTE student 4.5 % of gross State product (4.2%) ($11,7) ($12,643) (2.7%) Sources: ABS and

33 Other reasons for Tasmania s poor Year 12 retention and completion rates Tasmanian children starting school at an older age than elsewhere with the result that a larger proportion of Tasmanian students reach the age at which they can legally leave school at a lower grade than in other parts of Australia the Government s proposed changes to the mandatory school starting and leaving ages prescribed by the Education Act seek to address this problem the structural break in the government high school system between Year 1 and Years 11&12 with the latter years traditionally being taught at separate colleges, a system which exists nowhere else in Australia than in the ACT which sends a signal that Year 1 is an acceptable exit point from education and which has historically been re-inforced by the common practice of describing end-of-year-1 celebrations as Leavers Dinners progressive roll-out of Year 11 & 12 courses at rural and regional High Schools addresses this problem where it is most severe but won t solve the problem in cities where three quarters of Tasmania s students live a culture in which relatively low levels of educational attainment have become the norm that is, one in which low expectations regarding educational participation and attainment are passed on from one generation to the next

39 Where Tasmania really stands out badly is in relation to its unfunded public sector superannuation liabilities General government superannuation liability, States & Territories, 3 June 216 Superannuation expenses as a pc of operating revenue, % of gross state product % of operating revenue Note: General government refers to the core government departments and other agencies funded wholly or largely by taxes, fees and fines, GBE income or grants from the Commonwealth( operating revenues ).

41 At some stage the Hodgman Government needs to start laying the ground work for a second term agenda The Hodgman Government is now in the second half of its first term in office it has thus far kept its promises (including promises notto do things) and, by and large, maintained the confidence and trust of the community like Mike Baird (and unlike Campbell Newman or Tony Abbott) and it has made important steps towards improving educational participation and attainment it should (ideally) be starting to give active consideration to the kind of mandate it wants to seek from the Tasmanian people for a second term in office knowing that it will have all the resources of government working for it, rather than arrayed against it The Government has the opportunity to seek a bolder mandate for a second term one which will enable it to make greater inroads into solving Tasmania s long-term problems it should surely want to be able to do more than minding the store The Government could start to develop and argue the case for significant state tax reforms for example, replacing stamp duties with a broadly-based land tax broadening the base and substantially lowering the rate of payroll tax Like Mike Baird, the Hodgman Government could seek a second-term mandate for asset sales to fund substantial new infrastructure investments and for forcing the pace on local government or school amalgamations
42 For more details Tasmania s economic future
43 The Tasmanian economy of tomorrow has to be different from yesterday s The old Tasmanian economy which Bob Cosgrove and Eric Reece built aided by Sir Allan Knight and Russ Ashton and which Robin Gray tried to prolong using borrowed money was only ever sustainable when the world (as far as Tasmania was concerned) consisted of other high-cost locations such as the rest of Australia, Europe, North America and Japan In the world that has been evolving since the mid-198s driven by globalization and the rise of emerging markets, and rapid technological change it s no longer economically sustainable for Tasmania to rely on the volume production of essentially undifferentiatedcommodities competing solely on the basis of price at least, not without paying much lower wages and taxes, and further despoiling the environment Instead, Tasmania s economic prosperity will increasingly depend on its ability to produce and market highly differentiatedgoods and services, embodying a significant intellectual content, for which customers can be persuaded to pay premium prices this is the only way producers based in Tasmania can overcome the disadvantages inherent in small scale and great distance from markets whilst still being able to pay decent wages, sufficient taxes to finance the public services Tasmanians want, and being able to maintain OHS, environmental and other standards That s not to say that there is no role for traditional commodity-based / energy intensive industries in Tasmania they make an important and valuable contribution to the economy and employment but we can t realistically expect them to be major drivers of future growth
44 The eight W s of Tasmania s economic future Wool: for >15 years Tasmania has been producing the finest, most expensive wool in Australia Water: Hydro s renewable energy sold at high prices to mainland wholesale markets (and commanding an additional premium when carbon pricing returns) plus irrigation (an enabler for expansion of the dairy industry) plus premium water (from Cape Grim) in Qantas First Class and expensive restaurants and products from water (like salmon, abalone and oysters) and boatbuilding, marine engineering, Antarctic science etc Wine: Tasmania now produces some of Australia s best, and most expensive, premium wines Whisky: high-priced distilled spirits branded using some of Tasmania s most distinctive characteristics Wasabi: and other horticultural products (cherries, onions, turnips, truffles, etc) sold to at high prices to customers in Northern Hemisphere countries (Japan, Germany, France) who are used to paying high prices, in their off-seasons Wagyu: high-priced beef (retailing in Japan for >A$8 per kilo) Walking (and Wilderness): unique experiences for which tourists will pay premium prices (should include adventure tourism like New Zealand) Walshy: the unique MONA experience (and others like it)
