  • Asylum Seekers Is a State Issue
    Asylum Seekers is a State Issue If you live in Tasmania and have a heart for asylum seekers, if you are aghast at the manner in which our nation is treating them, then you have an opportunity to speak up. That opportunity is the State election. “What?” you say? Isn’t asylum seeker policy a federal issue? It is. But in the current climate it cannot be and needn’t be – particular in Tasmania. Because in Tasmania, with our multi-member electorates, you don’t just get to prioritise parties in your vote, you also get to prioritise individuals within the parties. What this means is that you will probably make a decision as to the order you are going to vote for parties – Libs first, Greens second, Labor third – as the case may be. And you’ll probably do this on State issues, which is appropriate. But when you get to the Liberal column – whether that is your first, second, or last column – you then have to decide the order in which you will vote for the five Liberal candidates. Let me be absolutely clear. I’m not advocating for someone to vote other than Liberal at the State election on the simple basis of asylum seeker policy. What I AM advocating is that you can use the issue to help determine the way in which you order the candidates WITHIN your Liberal vote. Each of those Liberal candidates will have the same Tasmanian policies (except perhaps on conscience issues, but that’s a different story). But they can, and will, differ as individuals on other issues, including asylum seekers.

  • Inaugural Speech – Felix Ashton Ellis MP
    Nic Street MP House of Assembly Date: 15 March 2016 Electorate: Franklin Mr STREET (Franklin - Inaugural) - Madam Speaker, I rise to give my inaugural speech today, knowing it is an extraordinary honour to be elected as a member of this place and that I join an exclusive group as the 776th individual to have served the people of Tasmania in this Parliament. My younger brother, comedian that he thinks he is, wanted to know if I received a cap with my number sewn on it like test cricketers. I believe that is not the case. I have read a large number of maiden speeches delivered in this place in preparation for today. Before being elected I was working with the now Minister for Mining, Racing, and Building and Construction, Adam Brooks. I can assure the House my contribution will not be nearly as funny as his but I can also tell you it will not take up nearly as much of your time. The first person I would like to acknowledge today is my predecessor, Paul Harriss. Paul gave 20 years service to the Parliament of Tasmania, along with 13 years service to the Huon Valley Council before entering Parliament. Paul is a kind and generous man and, regardless of ideology, I believe he has served the people of Tasmania faithfully and in dedication to his long-held beliefs. I wish him well in his retirement and I know his family are very much looking forward to having their father and grandfather available to them free of his political responsibilities.
