  • Second Reading Speech
    DRAFT SECOND READING SPEECH HON WILL HODGMAN MP Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018 *check Hansard for delivery* I move – That the Constitution Amendment (House of Assembly Electoral Boundaries) Bill 2018 now be read for the second time. The Commonwealth recently reviewed the House of Representatives boundaries in Tasmania. This review was part of an independent redistribution of federal electoral boundaries, required under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The previous redistribution of the federal electoral boundaries in Tasmania was completed in 2009. The redistribution of electoral boundaries usually reflects population changes to ensure an even and fair allocation of voters among the electorates. Having even electorates is an important element of retaining ‘fairness’ in our voting system and indeed our democracy. On 14 November 2017, the Commonwealth augmented Electoral Commission for Tasmania announced new boundaries for the federal electorates in Tasmania. The augmented Commission consisted of the three members of the Australian Electoral Commission, the Australian Electoral Officer for Tasmania, Mr David Molnar, the Surveyor-General of Tasmania, Mr Michael Giudici, and the Auditor-General of Tasmania, Mr Rod Whitehead. The augmented Commission also announced that the division of ‘Denison’ be renamed to the division of ‘Clark’. This name change recognises the role of Andrew Inglis Clark in the creation of the Australian Federation. The new name and boundary changes will apply from the next federal election. However, these Commonwealth changes do not automatically apply as State electoral boundaries in Tasmania. In the past, the Tasmanian Parliament has chosen to adopt the Commonwealth House of Representatives boundaries for the purposes of House of Assembly divisions by amending the Constitution Act 1934 to ensure they coincide.

  • Inaugural Speech
    Madeleine Ogilvie MP House of Assembly Date: 7 May 2014 Electorate: Denison Address-in-Reply Ms OGILVIE (Denison - Inaugural) - Madam Speaker, Tasmania, our beautiful island state, sits awash and offshore in the Southern Ocean. We have here in Tasmania a collective love of the sea. It is the ocean that has brought many of us here: for half of my family, five generations ago by boat, not on a date of their choosing, and the other side of my family again arriving by boat after World War II. We are all boat people and we understand the love and lure of the sea, both in relation to our industries and our sporting pursuits including, of course, our international yachting event, the Sydney-Hobart. It is no surprise to me that we are so willing to welcome refugees, yet we are newcomers to this island home. With 60 000 years of human history existing here, it is important to recognise the original peoples of Tasmania and the important and continuing role they play as custodians of a living tradition here on our island. I wear today as a mark of deep respect a shell necklace made in the traditional Aboriginal manner and was very touched that the maker thought it appropriate that I do so today. It is also fitting that one of the oldest cultures in the world should be remembered in one of the most cultural cities in the world, a place of astounding natural beauty. Behind this classic building in which we stand today is a mountain that helps define Hobart and gives the city a landmark that is always present in the hearts of Tasmanians wherever we go.

  • 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.
