Tasmania's Government: 148,525 ballots registered for voucher scheme

Tasmania's Premier Peter Gutwein stated (10-Aug-2021) 148,525 ballots had been registered from Tasmanians for its tourism voucher scheme. There will be 25,000 vouchers allocated via a ballot system, meaning that registrants will have a one in six chance of receiving a voucher. The last round of vouchers generated an estimated AUD27.5 million (USD20.2 million) in additional spending as Tasmanians travelled across Tasmania and into the regions. [more - original PR]
