INTRODUCTION While the outcome of the March 2018 Tasmanian State Election was predictable,1 the controversies that dogged the campaign were not. Yet it was the aftermath of the election that was most astonishing—not only to the public but also to members of Cabinet. Tasmania is different. Its parliamentary institutions are unusual and its electoral system is distinctive. So were the issues on which the March 2018 state election was fought. In the lead up to the election both major parties campaigned to govern alone or not at all—neither in minority nor in coalition with the Greens. As well as this apparently overarching concern, there were three other major issues prominent during the campaign—an acute housing shortage, the thousands of poker machines in pubs and clubs, and the surprise matter of gun control. Health, education, law and order, the economy and who would best manage the budget were, as usual, also policy battle grounds; however, the minority government fear campaign, a television blitz on the benefits of poker machines and considerable 1 N.

  • Good Environmental Governance and Gunns Ltd's Proposed Pulp Mill For

    Good Environmental Governance and Gunns Ltd's Proposed Pulp Mill For

    Tasmania’s Tamar Valley Pulp Mill: A Comparison of Planning Processes Using a Good Environmental Governance Framework Introduction Liberal democracy is not delivering good environmental results. From climate change to watershed destruction, from habitat loss to fisheries depletion, outcomes at the local, national and global levels leave a great deal to be desired. The upshot is that needed policies are watered down and then delayed by powerful, negatively affected ‘old economy’ interests appealing to ‘environmental realism’. Nature, paying no heed to such self-regarding actions and the spin used to justify them, continues to react in complex and chaotic ways to the cumulative effects of unsustainable production. The results are well known: a thinning of the ozone layer, a warming the earth, deforestation, soil erosion, desertification and species extinction. The difficulty is that the institutions that have evolved to make liberal democracy work exert insufficient control over powerful actors—business and governments— between elections. While mainstream political parties are adept at using the rhetoric of sustainable development, in practice the policies they formulate are tailored to deliver benefits to core constituencies. Thus, once in government, party leaders of whatever hue support rapid economic development to deliver jobs, profits and taxes. The broader environmental and community costs associated with the projects and programs designed to achieve these outcomes are downplayed or, at times, completely ignored. This driving need of mainstream political parties to support economic development despite potentially high environmental and community costs is no where more clearly illustrated than in the recent conflict in Tasmania over a proposal to site a pulp mill at Long Reach, near Bell Bay, on the banks of the Tamar Estuary.
