Three months on from losing grip on the northern Tasmanian seats of Bass and Braddon and suffering a bruising federal election defeat, the Labor Party is looking to regroup.

Key points: It is the first Tasmanian gathering since Braddon MP Justine Keay and Bass MP Ross Hart lost their seats at the federal election

Party faithful have gathered in Burnie for Labor's annual state conference — their first Tasmanian gathering since local Braddon MP Justine Keay and Bass MP Ross Hart were booted out on May 18.

There has been a clear shift in rhetoric — issues around health and education have been pushed down the order of business in favour of talking about the economy.

The party appears to have decided the key to future electoral success lies in convincing voters it would be a stronger economic manager than the Liberals, both at a state level and federally.

With Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese unable to attend because of other commitments, it was telling that his replacement was Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

Mr Chalmers used his address to hit out at the economic management of the Morrison Government, criticising Australia's low levels of economic growth, wages growth, and high household debt.

He called for the Federal Government to bring forward infrastructure spending, such as on the Bass Highway and Bridgewater Bridge in an effort to stimulate the economy.

"Shamefully, we've gone from a leader in the global economy to a lagger," Mr Chalmers said.

"The Morrison Government is in denial about the economy. A soft economy has been their blind spot, and it's becoming their weak spot."

Buried at the bottom of the conference agenda on page 105, a motion from the Leven Branch of the Labor Party calls on the conference to recognise the loss of support for the Labor Party at state and federal elections over the past decade from traditional Labor voters and from regional Tasmania.

The motion attempts to direct the state and federal parliamentary Labor Party members to ensure policy decisions are relevant to "traditional Labor supporters, with an emphasis on economic growth, jobs, health, education and housing".

"These policies and actions are essential to ensure Labor restores the trust of our traditional supporters and must be the immediate priority for Labor across all party units," the motion said.

Whether or not that motion receives support on Sunday, Tasmanian Labor Leader Rebecca White appears to have received the message.

Ms White will rise to her feet on Sunday to spruik Labor's commitment to the working class, and to raise concerns about a "jobs emergency" in Tasmania.

She will use her speech to distance Labor from the Tasmanian Greens.

After working with the Greens earlier this year to pass transgender reforms through state parliament, Labor now seems intent on avoiding the appearance of being too cosy with the minor party.

Ms White's speech will criticise the Greens' positions on energy policy, tourism, and planning.

"As bad as the Liberal Government is on jobs — the Greens are just as bad," Ms White's speech reads.

"I am tired of the Greens standing in the way of Tasmanian jobs.

"They leave people behind. Working people. Our people.

"It was a mistake to think Labor could ever work with the Greens. We will never make that mistake again."

Just months on from the last election, Tasmanian Labor's focus has clearly shifted to the next ones, in 2022.
