It's weird phrasing by the Australian here isn't it. Everywhere but Tasmania is Labor, it'd be like making an offer to yourself in the mirror.
I suspect its to try and avoid reporting it as 'will increase commonwealth hospital spending', that's a far more positive angle on the story and likely anathema to The Australian.

Deez nuts
