LABOR LEADER Tasmania’s biggest economic challenge before COVID-19 was job creation. The pandemic has only compounded the problem. Creating jobs and getting more people into secure and stable jobs is Labor’s number one priority. But they must be good jobs. COVID-19 exposed the weaknesses in our economy: an over reliance on certain industries, high rates of casualisation and underemployment. We need to address these issues in our recovery or we will remain exposed to repeating the mistakes of the past.

  • Voluntary Assisted Dying) Bill 2020
    SUBMISSION TO THE UTAS REVIEW PANEL IN RELATION TO THE END OF LIFE CHOICES (VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING) BILL 2020 JANUARY 2021 INTRODUCTION Dying with Dignity Tasmania has been very closely involved in the development of the last three voluntary assisted dying Bills in Tasmania, the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2013, the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2016 and the End of Life Choices (Voluntary Assisted Dying) Bill 2020. This included asking Mike Gaffney if he would be the proponent of the latest Bill and working closely with him for over two years to get to this point where the Bill is close to being passed by both Houses of Parliament. We are aware of the enormous amount of work he did on the Bill, the extent of his consultation with the Tasmanian community and with local, national and international experts and his commitment to making it safe and effective in meeting the needs and wishes of Tasmanians. The significant and valuable role played by DwDTas in relation to the current and past Bills has been acknowledged in past debates and in the current one, eg in Mike Gaffney’s Second Reading speech and other speeches in the debate on the Bill in the Legislative Council, and in a number of Second Reading speeches in the House of Assembly. Our close involvement has been as an organisation and through the personal involvement of Margaret Sing, President for 10 years until mid-2020, who has undertaken the bulk of the research, analysis and preparation of detailed information and advice. This has been backed up by other members of the Committee and active members of DwDTas who have brought to the issue a wealth of relevant professional and personal experience, knowledge and skills, as well as their commitment to legal VAD choice being available to Tasmanians as it is in so many other jurisdictions.
