President Christina Holmdahl Speaks President Christina Holmdahl Speaks At the April meeting of our branch I notified you of the increase in membership fees that have been imposed on us by the National April 2017 Number 253 Executive without due and proper process of consultation with all the Working for Australians in branches of A.I.R. at a time when Retirement we continue to lose members. Association of Independent Retirees The Tasmanian Division of A.I.R. will meet on 11 May (A.I.R.) Limited 2017 and our branch representative at that meeting, Vice ACN 102 164 385 President Shane Dennington will raise the matter as well Newsletter as voicing our displeasure at the lack of proper process surrounding the increase, none of which will be retained by Northern Tasmania Branch the branches. PO Box 332, Launceston, 7250 It is the view of many that the branches currently pay far E: [email protected] too much to the National Body as a percentage of the (03) 6330 3322 membership fee. We ask why the National Body thinks it is reasonable to raise subscription dues by $10 for singles DATES 2017 and couples without reference to the branches and National retaining 100% of the increase. General Meeting Friday 19 May Specifically, a single will pay $56; the branch retains only IDG Meeting Friday 26 May $11.50, Division $2.50 and National $42.00. A couple will pay $82.00; branch retains $13.00, Division $5.00 and Committee Meeting Monday 15 May National $64.00. The retention rate for the branch for the second person of a couple is $1.50. This seems unfair as WINDSOR COMMUNITY PRECINCT already expressed by many of our members. RIVERSIDE, TAS 7250 What representation did the State Division President make MEETINGS COMMENCE AT 10AM on our behalf regarding this increase in subscriptions? Are the representations stated in the Board minutes? The loss of membership is not unique to our branch of A.I.R. This is happening to every branch in Australia The organisation is a shadow of the once powerful advocacy body for independent retirees. This must change and change quickly. Respectfully submitted to our Membership, Remember Lunch after General Meeting!!

The Huon pine grows only 1 mm per year, becoming 3 metres wide and 40 metres tall and living longer than 3,000 years! Those of you who were able to attend the April General meeting learned these facts from the movie shown about the early “piners” that risked their lives venturing into the Tasmania wilderness beginning in 1890’s logging until 1983 when the government declared the Gordon and Franklin River areas a reserve for the precious timber. The documentary, part dramatization along with real footage focused on interviews from a few men who survived living and working in remote Tasmania felling the Huon Pines. These men travelled through dangerous rapids and waterfalls up the Jane, Franklin and Gordon Rivers Some of the journeys would take ten(10) days in small boats known as punts to cover the seventy(70) to ninety(90) miles. The men would have to bring all their provisions of rice, flour, dried beef, and vegetables to last them the three months in the wilderness. They would also hunt wallabies for stews to supplement their food supplies. The men would return to Strahan after being in the bush for the 3 to 4 months and stay in town for 1 to 6 weeks before heading back to the wilderness. From the interviews of those men who worked as piners in the 1930’s, most were in their late teens at the time taking on these dangerous journeys into areas where no white men had preceded them. At the onset of WWII, most of the “piners” would join the army to fight and there was a decline in logging the trees which lasted until the 1980’s when it would cease completely. There are many logs that were felled 50 years ago available for salvage with a licence. The Huon pine is coveted for its characteristics of not rotting, being strong and solid. It is still used to make boats and by some artisans and craftsmen for furniture and decorative items. The scientific world also has an interest in the timber. By boring a small 5mm hole and extracting a core the rings may be counted for age and growth cycles and evidence of the greenhouse effect. The Bob Crane Weekend in Strahan celebrates the “piners” with a wood chopping contest and a stage play depicting the “piners” lives. After this viewing of The Oldest Living Tasmanian: The Huon Pine, Shane Dennington took us through the paces for “Rules of the Road”. This consisted of 35 questions, of which 15 are compulsory and must be answered correctly as required by the Tasmanian Government for a Driving Licence. I am PLEASED to announce that, through the group effort, we passed with 33 of 35 correct!!!!

The main pro was taking control of your funds, This encompassed many aspects like choosing your investments, lower fees and even in your estate planning. The word control occurred several times in his address. There is now an opportunity for limited recourse borrowing by the fund to allow gearing. But it has limitations, i.e. if your fund borrows for a house and you then live in the house loan must be repaid. Cons include time, costs, filing tax returns, audit cost, actuary advice and meeting the sole purpose test. The minimum sum recommended for a SMSF was $200k, personally I thought the amount to warrant the setting up and administering costs would be more. Even if specialist are employed for advice the buck stops with the trustee and a breach could attract a $360k fine To save complications if a trustee dies it was recommended that a corporate trustee would be the way to go.

    Objection Number 2 Martin Gordon 5 pages Tasmanian secretariat Phone (03) 6235 0503 Email [email protected] The Committee Objection I wish to make an objection to the proposals of the Redistribution Committee for Tasmania’s proposals. I had earlier made a submission and commented on other submissions. Below I have comments on the individual components of the committees and proposals and my critique of the committees logic. Several aspects of their approach are reasonable, whilst several seem inconsistent when compared with each other. Maintaining local government areas as whole - is selectively applied, for instance to West Tamar and Dorset Councils, but not to Meander Council. Whilst existing boundaries are maintained (Denison and Franklin) but significant changes are made without sufficient explanation to parts of Bass and Lyons. Braddon The Committee has chosen the option which is agreed in full by a large number of submitters (including myself), in part by others and which complies with the requirements of the redistribution, and produces a outcome of closeness to quota. The maps with local government areas, significant geographic features and population centres and means of communication bring you to an obvious conclusion. As a result I am entirely in agreement with the committees proposals! Bass and Lyons There is considerable similarity between my submission and the committee proposals with regards to Lyons and Bass. But, I was surprised that the Dorset Council and Flinders Island were transferred from Bass to Lyons and that Meander Council was not united in Lyons to enable the generally agreed incorporation of rest of West Tamar Council in Bass.

    Comment on objection number 4 Hon Michael Ferguson MP 2 pages Tasmanian secretariat Phone (03) 6235 0503 Email [email protected] HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY Redistribution Committee - Tasmania 2nd Floor, NAB House 86 Collins Street HOBART TAS 7000 Dear members of the committee Re: Redistribution, Division of Bass - Comments on objections I wish to convey my support of the objections made to the Redistribution Committee's proposal regardingthe Division of Bass. Neither of Tasmania'stwo major political parties support the changesproposed to the Division of Bass, nor does the Dorset Council. Specifically, the excision of the municipalities ofFlinders and Dorset from Bass and their transfer to the Division of Lyons is unnecessary. The proposed changes overlook community of interests, means of communication and travel considerations and they will significantly disadvantage local residents, industry and businesses. I am not aware of any support from Flinders Council for the proposed changes, howevermy strong view is that members ofboth Flinders and Dorset communities would not support their relocation into a different electorate. To ensure the appropriatenumber of electors are enrolled in each division, there is a need for some redistribution of areas within the state. I believe that this shouldbe achievedin a waythat minimises the impact on the people ofTasmania. The minimisationof impact approachis strongly supported by the TasmanianDivision ofthe Liberal Party and also endorsedby the Australian LaborParty TasmanianBranch. The Liberal Party clearly stated in its submission that since the Division of Bass is currently within required legislative parameters, no changeshould be made to the existingboundaries. The LaborParty's submission was in agreement on this point.

  • FACT SHEET Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018
    FACT SHEET Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018 The Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018 amends the Constitution Act 1934 to apply revised boundaries for House of Assembly electoral divisions and rename the Division of ‘Denison’ to ‘Clark’. The electoral boundaries for the Tasmanian division of the Commonwealth House of Representatives were recently reviewed and redistributed as required under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The Commonwealth’s redistribution will apply from the next federal election. The Commonwealth changes are not automatically adopted as State electoral boundaries in Tasmania. This means that some voters are currently enrolled in a Tasmanian House of Assembly division that is different to their federal division. To avoid confusion in the minds of electors long accustomed to voting in the same division at State and Federal elections, the Tasmanian Parliament has chosen to adopt the Commonwealth House of Representatives boundaries for the purpose of House of Assembly divisions by amending the Constitution Act 1934 to ensure they coincide. Consistent with previous practice, the Bill seeks to re-align Tasmanian House of Assembly divisions with the new Commonwealth House of Representatives divisions. Under the proposed amendments, the new electoral divisions will be as follows: Bass will gain the entirety of the municipality of West Tamar from Lyons. Bass will therefore contain the City of Launceston and the municipalities of Dorset, Flinders, George Town and West Tamar. Braddon will gain the entirety of the municipality of Latrobe from Lyons. Braddon will therefore contain the Cities of Burnie and Devonport and the municipalities of Central Coast, Circular Head, King Island, Latrobe, Waratah-Wynyard and West Coast.

  • House of Assembly Thursday 23 August 2018
    Thursday 23 August 2018 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m. and read Prayers. RECOGNITION OF VISITORS Madam SPEAKER - Honourable members, I draw your attention to the presence in the gallery of grades 5 and 6 from Scottsdale Primary School. Welcome to Parliament. Members - Hear, hear. QUESTIONS Ms Martine Haley - Circumstances of Termination of Employment Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.04 a.m.] On 6 March you said that your senior adviser, Martine Haley, had offered you her resignation over her central role in trolling Ms Angela Williamson in a clear effort to expose her to her employer, Cricket Tasmania. You said: Today I have accepted the resignation of Martine Haley, a senior adviser in my office. Ms Haley offered her resignation following an inappropriate email she sent, which I have made clear was totally unacceptable. Can you confirm that that statement is correct? Madam Speaker, I will be seeking to table this document at the end of question time. ANSWER Madam Speaker, I have repeatedly said that Ms Haley's behaviour was unacceptable and that her actions cost her the opportunity to continue in her employment with my Government. As I said in Estimates, Ms Haley received the entitlements under her contract, which was not renewed. I find it interesting that Labor is going down this path, notwithstanding what happened in their own patch, for example, as to why staff who resigned after the election and finished their contracts received entitlements under their contract. For example, it was reported on 16 March in the Mercury that Labor would shed several advisers including former Southern Cross political adviser, Alex Johnston, who resigned.
