Sounds like a good opportunity to announce a little project to do with silica.

After more than three weeks of travelling and announcements, Tasmania's election campaign goes up a notch in colour and spectacle today.

The Tasmanian Labor Party is officially launching its campaign at a ceremony in Hobart.

Labor will lose its majority if it loses just two seats at the election in 12 days time.

After less than two years in the top job, the Premier David Bartlett will take centre stage at the party's official launch today.

If he sticks to the campaign message so far, jobs and financial management will be high on the agenda.

Hundreds of Labor figures are expected to cram into the Bahai Learning Centre in Hobart, about lunchtime.

The event coincides with Labour Day and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will be guest of honour.

The Liberals are officially launching their campaign in Launceston, next weekend, the Greens in Hobart on Wednesday.
