House of Assembly Wednesday 4 September 2019 Wednesday 4 September 2019 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m., acknowledged the Traditional People and read Prayers. RECOGNITION OF VISITORS Madam SPEAKER - Honourable members, it is my great privilege to welcome to parliament grade 5 and 6 students from Hagley Farm Primary School. Members - Hear, hear. QUESTIONS Tasmanian Industrial Commission - Alleged Leaking of Submission Ms WHITE question to MINISTER for JUSTICE, Ms ARCHER [10.03 a.m.] You are the minister responsible for the Tasmanian Industrial Commission. Yesterday the member for Clark, Sue Hickey, claims that her submission to the Industrial Commission arguing for an $80 000 pay rise was leaked to the media in order to damage her. Did anyone in your office, did you or anyone associated with you, leak the member for Clark's submission? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I would normally thank the Leader of the Opposition for her question. It shows they have already run out of questions in question time. They are going to the absolute gutter in terms of questions. Yes, I have responsibility for the Tasmanian Industrial Commission but to have some loose and tenuous link on this matter is really quite ludicrous and to ask your first question - Ms White - It is a yes or no answer. Madam SPEAKER - Order. Ms ARCHER - I can answer the question, no. Madam SPEAKER - Warning number one, Leader of the Opposition. Tasmanian Industrial Commission - Alleged Leaking of Submission Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.04 a.m.] Will you ask Tasmania Police to investigate allegations from the member for Clark, Sue Hickey, that her confidential submission to the Industrial Commission was leaked to the media? 1 4 September 2019 ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question. I will not direct Tasmania Police to do anything. That would be entirely inappropriate - Ms White - You ask others. Madam SPEAKER - Order, warning number two, Leader of the Opposition. Mr HODGMAN - It again demonstrates the lack of substance and credibility of the Leader of the Opposition as is evidenced by the first two questions today. They claimed in front of the party faithful that they were going to get back in touch with Tasmanians, that they understood the issues that concern Tasmanians, that they thought the economy was something they should be interested in now. The first two questions we get today are the same spurious conspiracy theories with no substance that shows that they still have not listened to people like Paul Lennon, Julian Amos and Harry Quick who say they are out of touch. They are dealing with peripheral issues and they are not focused on the things that matter to Tasmanians. This is again evidenced in this House this morning. Hobart Private Hospital - Healthscope Lease Terms Dr WOODRUFF question to MINISTER for HEALTH, Ms COURTNEY [10.06 a.m.] You have gifted the long-term lease of Hobart Private Hospital to Healthscope which is owned by a Canadian company, Brookfield, and controlled from an off-shore tax haven in the Cayman Islands. Fact. Those structures are created to aggressively minimise tax and hide information. You have renewed the lease with Healthscope, the same company that has been operating at a loss during the previous lease period, failing to provide essential emergency services and apparently allowing maintenance of our public building to fall to deplorable levels. Tasmanians need to be confident that Healthscope's lease conditions will not include sweet deals for the company that was a Liberal Party donor. Will you protect the interest of tax paying Tasmanians and come clean with the lease terms that you are secretly negotiating? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the member for her question. I welcome the opportunity to talk about the deal that has been negotiated with Healthscope for the Hobart Private Hospital. We know that having a co-located public and private facility on that site is good for Tasmanians. It is good for access; it is good for patient flow. As I outlined last week, aspects of this deal such as being able to have an ED open 24/7 means that - Greens members interjecting. Madam SPEAKER - Order, please. 2 4 September 2019 Ms COURTNEY - This will see more Tasmanians being able to access the services that they need. This will allow Tasmanians to be able to flow through the hospital better. This will support our hardworking doctors in the ED department that we know is under pressure; this will help support them and it will help support our paramedics to ensure that they are getting off the ramps. This is a good deal for Tasmanians. It is a good deal for the health system. It is unfortunate that the Greens seek to undermine such an important - Ms O'Connor - We just want transparency. Dr WOODRUFF - Point of order, Madam Speaker, it goes to relevance. I asked what the deals were, not that they were a good deal. What are the deals that are being negotiated? Madam SPEAKER - I am sorry, that is not a point of order but it has been heard. Ms COURTNEY - Thank you, Madam Speaker. As I was outlining with regard to - Ms O'Connor - No you were not. Madam SPEAKER - Order, Ms O'Connor, I will have to give you a warning. Ms COURTNEY - Madam Speaker, after a rigorous open and competitive process Healthscope has been selected as the preferred operator of the Hobart Private Hospital. Healthscope and the Government have struck an in-principle agreement that will see a greater return to the state, improved integration between the Royal Hobart Hospital and the Hobart Private Hospital, and increased capital investment in the site itself. Most importantly, there will be improved delivery and continuity of services in line the Government's strategic health objectives. This is a deal that is delivering for Tasmanians. We are seeing more capital investment, we are seeing better integrated services, we are seeing the ED open 24/7. This is a good deal and we know from other - Dr WOODRUFF - Point of order, Madam Speaker, what are the deals that have been arranged? How long is the lease? Madam SPEAKER - That is not a point of order. Ms O'Connor - We are just getting fluff from the minister, with respect, Madam Speaker. Madam SPEAKER - I am sorry, Ms O'Connor, but you know the rules. Ms COURTNEY - As was outlined last week, there is an in-principle agreement and other aspects are being negotiated at the moment. The member would know with this type of negotiation it is important that we have sufficient probity and due process in this type of important decision that would impact Tasmanians and Tasmanian taxpayers. I have every confidence in the negotiating team to be able to handle this in an appropriate way that will get the best outcomes for Tasmanians. Greens members interjecting. Madam SPEAKER - Dr Woodruff, I will have to give you a warning too. 3 4 September 2019 Ms COURTNEY - Madam Speaker, this is a deal that will deliver for taxpayers, for Tasmanian patients and for the people - Ms O'CONNOR - Point of order, Madam Speaker, under standing order 45, relevance. The minister is continually avoiding the question. We do not need to know that it is a good deal; just some details of what has been negotiated and what terms there are for the people of Tasmania. Madam SPEAKER - You will have to find another mechanism for asking that question. That is not a point of order and you know how I feel about standing order 45. Please proceed, minister. Ms COURTNEY - Madam Speaker, as I was outlining, Healthscope has been named as the preferred operator. There are continuing negotiations about the contracts happening at the moment so that we can close the finer details that are being conducted with appropriate probity because obviously these types of arrangements would have commercial matters involved. I stand here today and say that we will see more capital investment, we will see better integrated services and we will see an emergency department that is open 24/7. This is good news and a good outcome for Tasmanians. Tasmanian Economy Mrs PETRUSMA question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.11 a.m.] Can you please update the House on how the Hodgman majority Liberal Government's long- term plan to build a stronger Tasmanian economy is working? Is the Premier aware of alternative approaches? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I welcome the question on our economy which continues to perform strongly despite some national headwinds, and it does not happen by accident or chance. It happens because we have a buoyant, confident business sector that is supported by this Government and the Morrison Coalition Government to deliver the right environment so they can continue to invest and support jobs growth in Tasmania. We are continuing to deliver our long-term plan which has always been about a strong economy and good financial management. This is not a revelation to us. From day one we have been all about opening up our economy and creating the right business conditions for Tasmania. We are certainly not going to take our foot off the pedal; we cannot be complacent. That is why in this year's Budget we have taken a deliberate decision to plant our foot, keep our economy strong and invest in infrastructure that our state needs now and also for the future. The infrastructure we talk about is our hospitals, our schools, affordable housing, our roads and rail, and important sectors that are fuelling the growth in our economy, like tourism. This Budget also delivers on our track record of forecast surpluses for the next four years.

Peter Pa tmore 23'" February 2000 iv ABSTRACT The Tasmanian Labor Party has found itself, like many western social democratic parties, recently subject to challenge; not from its traditional enemy, the economic right, but froma new postmaterialist left. This thesis considers the concept of postmaterialism, its rise and role in the fo rmation of new ecocentric political parties, and its impact on the structure, ideology and electoral strategy of the Tasmanian Labor Party. Maurice Duverger's typology of political parties has been used to elucidate and consider the characteristics and fo rmation of political parties and the importance of electoral systems - particularly proportional representation - in achieving representational success.

  • Planning Versus Power: Tasmania's Forest Policy Network and Gunn's
    Planning Versus Power: Tasmania’s Forest Policy Network and Gunn’s Tamar Valley Pulp Mill Dr Fred Gale University of Tasmania Launceston Tasmania Please do not cite without permission. Comments are welcome and should be forwarded to [email protected] Introduction When Gunns announced its intention to build a pulp mill at Bell Bay in Northern Tasmania in mid-2004, it plunged the state into a socio-political crisis from which it has yet to recover. The proposal has re-opened the state’s forest wars—barely healed from the bruising battle over the state’s Regional Forestry Agreement (RFA)—further polarising the community (Ajani 2007; Buckman 2008). As each faction battles for the hearts and minds of ‘ordinary’ Tasmanians, the truism that truth is its first victim of warfare is once again illustrated. For the past five years Tasmanians have been bombarded with claims and counterclaims concerning the pulp mill’s economic, social and environmental impacts (i.e. via the Government sponsored Pulp Mill Task Force newsletters and contributors to the online newspaper Tasmanian Times). A concerted media blitz by the government, Gunns and unions spruiking the mill’s benefits has been countered by a diverse array of sources ranging from conservationists to religious figures to academics (Gale 2008). In this paper, I do not intend to assess the merits of the arguments made by these protagonists. Instead, I aim to take advantage of the opportunity the pulp mill presents to analyse the actors, institutions and ideologies of Tasmania’s forest policy network. In addressing the general question of how Tasmania’s forest policy network secures its interests, I will argue that it does so by enmeshing itself within a range of public and private institutions that enhances the legitimacy of individual actors and enables them to collectively achieve their objectives.

  • The History of Family Planning Tasmania
    The History of Family Planning Tasmania Paul Duncombe and Esmé Murphy The History of Family Planning Tasmania Paul Duncombe and Esmé Murphy FAMILY PLANNING TASMANIA - A HISTORY PART 1 Uphill all the way The first thirty years of Family Planning Tasmania: 1972-2002 In the beginning… It was on 10 December 1966, on Human Rights Day, that twelve Heads of State made a Declaration on Population and presented it to U Thant, then Secretary- General of the United Nations. They were motivated to do so by considerations of peaceful co-existence, the challenge of a rapidly expanding world population, and an increasing interest in the area of basic human rights. The declaration was an early attempt to put issues of population on the world stage, and to do so in relation to basic reproductive rights and choices. It recognised that there was a population problem and stated its belief that “... lasting and meaningful peace will depend to a considerable measure upon how the challenge of population growth is met.” It stated in emphatic language that: “The objective of Family Planning is the enrichment of human life, not its restriction: that family planning, by assuring greater opportunity to each person, frees man to attain his individual dignity and reach his full potential. The great majority of parents desire to have the knowledge and the means to plan their families; that the opportunity to decide the number and spacing of children is a basic human right” The following year, 1967, eighteen further countries, including Australia, added their signatures to the Declaration. The stage was thus set for action at an Australian level.
