  • Tasmania: Majority Or Minority Government? *
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Tasmania: Majority or Minority Government? * Michael Lester and Dain Bolwell PhD Candidate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania Associate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania * Double-blind reviewed article. 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.

  • LABOR NEWSNEWS Octoberoctober 2008 2012 PREMIER’S MESSAGE an Abbott Federal Government Would Be a Disaster for Tasmania
    LABORLABOR NEWSNEWS OctoberOctober 2008 2012 PREMIER’S MESSAGE An Abbott Federal Government would be a disaster for Tasmania. It’s difficult to overstate the damage that the federal Opposition leader’s policies would do to the Tasmanian economy and government services if he is ever elected Prime Minister. The single biggest threat is the Liberal Party’s stance on the distribution of GST revenue. Mainland Liberal Premiers are united in pushing for a per capita distribution of GST revenue, which would strip up to $700 million per annum from Tasmania’s budget. That’s the equivalent of $5000 for every Tasmanian household. Mr Abbott has consistently expressed sympathy and support for his Liberal colleague’s campaign. His claims that such an approach would not disadvantage Tasmania are laughable. Liberal Premiers are pursuing a change in the way GST revenue is distributed because they PREMIER LARA GIDDINGS want to get their hands on more of it. With a finite amount of cash available, giving more to WA, Victoria, Queensland and NSW must mean there’s less available for the smaller States. The impact on public services in Tasmania of a further massive reduction in GST revenue would be devastating. But the potential damage to Tasmania of an Abbott government does not end there. Mr Abbott’s pledge to repeal the price on carbon would strip a further $70 million per annum from Tasmania, as we benefit financially from our strong advantage in renewable energy. He has also pledged to abandon the NBN, which would cost Tasmania 800 jobs in the roll-out phase and jeopardise our place in the new digital economy.

  • The Valley & East Coast Voice
    The Valley & East Coast Voice Volume 42 No 9 Est.1968 Thursday, October 8, 2009 50 cents Exciting Post Office news We have just been advised by Australia Post that St Marys has been chosen as the Post Office to postmark all 2009 Christmas phila- telic issues throughout Australia. According, every 2009 Christmas Stamp First Day Cover sold in Australia and around the world will have a postmark from the St Marys Post Office. I gather that a special postmark stamp will be made for us and the people from Australia Post tell me that this is indeed a great honour for our Post Office. Australia Christmas philatelic issues are prized all around the world and it is quite humbling to know that they will all bear a St Marys postmark. Details are still a little sketchy and no doubt we will learn more about this matter in coming weeks, but as soon as we hear about ordering procedures for the 2009 Christmas stamp issues, we will put a notice in the Valley Voice, because we imagine many St Marys residents will be keen to purchase First Day Covers.

On the 23rd of September, nine eager Outdoor Ed students along with Mr. Lynch took up the challenge of collecting rubbish around the school and township. After collecting 5 garbage bags and 2 normal shopping bags of rubbish in around an hour, our results were staggering! Plastic topped the results from the school and in the street area.

  • Gunns' Proposed Tamar Valley Pulp
    GUNNS’ PROPOSED TAMAR VALLEY PULP MILL SAGA: Timeline of Key Events: 2003 - 2017 The saga of the pulp mill began in June 2003 with then Deputy Premier Paul Lennon spotted having dinner with John Gay, CEO of Gunns Limited, with documents sighted on the table which referred to a proposal to build a pulp mill. Following that revelation both the State and Federal Labor and Liberal parties were in lock-step support for the pulp mill despite growing community outrage and dissent. Below are a few key ‘highlights’ over the last 14 years that the toxic pulp mill cloud has hung over Tasmania, blighting Tasmanian politics, community, and reputation. ▪ June 2003 – Gunns’ intentions for a pulp mill were leaked to then-Greens Leader Peg Putt, who subsequently ‘blew the whistle’ on the plans by raising the matter in the State Parliament. ▪ November 2003 - guidelines for the mill were released by the government. ▪ June 2004 – revised environmental guidelines for a pulp mill in Tasmania released. ▪ June 2004 – Media reports that “Prime Minister John Howard has promised $5 million to Tasmanian timber giant Gunns Ltd if it goes ahead with its proposed $1 billion pulp mill.” ▪ August 2004 – Lennon Labor government announced that a pulp mill “co-ordinating unit” would be housed within the Department of Economic Development. The Unit would be headed by Mr Bob Gordon, formerly the Forestry Tasmania General Manager of Marketing, and would be known as the Pulp Mill Taskforce. ▪ November 2004 – Premier Lennon announces the Gunns’ pulp mill proposal to be assessed as a Project of State Significance under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993 (at Gunns Ltd’s request), ▪ November 2004 – also revealed that Forestry Tasmania and Gunns Ltd had entered into a pulp mill wood supply agreement before any pulp mill plans were made public.

  • Twentieth Annual Report 2008
    A HOUSE OF REVIEW BACKGROUND The Legislative Council of Tasmania was established in 1825 as a unicameral legislature following the separation of Van Diemen's Land from New South Wales. On 3 December of that year, Governor Darling of New South Wales proclaimed Van Diemen's Land as a separate colony, and simultaneously the first Legislative Council was created consisting of six nominee Members and the Lieut.-Governor, Colonel George Arthur. The continuing prosperity and population growth of the colony were reflected by the increase in membership of the Council. In 1828, as a result of an Imperial Act, the Council was increased to 15 nominee Members (6 official and 8 unofficial) with the Governor as Presiding Officer. In 1851, the Legislative Council Membership was further increased to a total of 24 Members. 16 Members were elected by restricted franchise and 8 Members were nominated by the Governor, who ceased to be a Member. From 1850 until 1856 the Presiding Officer in the Council was known as the Speaker. The Members elected Sir Richard Dry as the first incumbent of that position. In 1856 the title of the Presiding Officer changed from that of Speaker to President. During the 1840s the British Colonial Office argued that the penal transportation system should continue. The colonists argued against any further influx of convicts and believed that their interests would be better served by a form of representative government for the colony. Although the Governor temporarily resolved this crisis, agitation for a more representative style of government grew stronger. The efforts of the colonists were rewarded with the proclamation of an act to permit the introduction of a bicameral, representative Parliament on 24 October 1856.
