Election Report The Minister for Justice The Honourable Ray Groom I am honoured to submit this report on Tasmanian Parliamentary elections conducted during the period 1995 to 1997. A State general election for the House of Assembly was held on 24 February 1996. For the first time in Australia’s history, the 1996 State and Federal elections were held simultaneously with only one week separating the two polling days. The overlapping of the two elections significantly increased the complexity of the conduct of the elections and the degree of difficulty for both candidates and electors. I wish to place on record my appreciation for the numerous electoral officials who contributed in an extraordinary way to make these two electoral events a success. In 1995 three recounts were conducted for the 42nd Parliament from the House of Assembly divisions of Franklin and Lyons. These followed the resignations of the Honourable Michael Aird MHA, Gerry Bates MHA and the Honourable Robin Gray MHA in 1995. In 1997 two recounts were conducted for the 43rd Parliament from the House of Assembly division of Braddon. These followed the resignations of the Honourable Michael Field MHA and the Honourable Roger Groom MHA. In 1995 four periodical elections and one by-election were conducted for the Legislative Council. The by-election followed the resignation of the Honourable Charles Batt MLC. In 1996 three periodical elections were conducted for the Legislative Council. In 1997 three periodical elections and one by-election were conducted for the Legislative Council. The by-election followed the resignation of the Honourable Geoff Squibb MLC, in order to contest the new seat of Mersey. The 1997 Legislative Council elections were held on new divisional boundaries, following the first redistribution of the State under the Legislative Council Electoral Boundaries Act 1995.

  • Groundwater, Mineral Resources and Land Stability in the Tasman Peninsula. 1. Groundwater from Fractured Rocks
    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

I havehad the honour to representthe Electorate of Denisonfor over 25 yearsin both the FederalParliament and the State Parliamentand I havenot, in that entire time, had onesingle elector ever suggestto me that the nameof the Electorateshould be changedfrom Denisonto Inglis Clark. The plain fact is that the two southernTasmanian Electoratesof Denisonand Franklin havebeen known as a team,a pair and duo for nearly a century; they havealways been spoken of together; and, the great advantageto the Australian Electoral systemof the two Electoratesbeing recognised as a team,a pair and a duo,would be utterly destroyedif oneof them were to suffer an unwarrantedname change. Whilst I recognisethe legaland constitutionalcontributions of Andrew Inglis Clark the plain fact is that his namewas never put forward by his contemporariesto be honouredby havinga FederalElectorate named after him. Other legal and constitutionalcontributors like Barton, Parkes, Griffith and Deakin were honoured by having Federal Electoratesnamed after them - but Inglis Clark was not.
