  • Head of State – Parliament Relations: Walter Bagehot and Constitution Act 1934 (TAS)
    Head of State – Parliament Relations: Walter Bagehot and Constitution Act 1934 (TAS) Richard Herr Faculty of Law University of Tasmania Australasian Study of Parliament Group 2017 Annual Conference, Parliament House Hobart, Tasmania 27-29 September [Not for quotation without author’s permission] Head of State – Parliament Relations: Walter Bagehot and Constitution Act 1934 (TAS) Richard Herr Sometime during the next six months Tasmanians will go to the polls to elect a new House of Assembly. However, this is not what most voters believe they will be doing. There is a widely shared assumption amongst the voters, media and political parties that the purpose of the ballot will be to elect a Government. Many will recognise that their vote for a Premier or a Government is filtered through the Parliament without being aware of the precise linkages at work. However, even those who are vaguely aware of the role of the Parliament, there is a fairly general belief (as there is across Australia) that the intermediacy of the legislature is largely pro forma. The assumption that the preferences expressed in the polling booth ought to be translated more or less directly into Governmental outcomes has been clearly on display at the national level over the past decade. The public repeatedly gave vent to outrage whenever internal party spills changed what many voters perceived as their intended vote for a particular Prime Minister or a Government.1 While this electoral disconnect could be disparaged simply as civic ignorance, it would be rather unfair. For very practical reasons, the voting public is entitled not to notice the “blip” between the ballot box and the installation of a Government following the election.

  • The Bream Creek Show
    P a g e | 1 OPENING THE 2012 BREAM CREEK SHOW BY THE HONOURABLE PETER UNDERWOOD AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA - SATURDAY 17TH MARCH 2012. Now I’ve not been to the Bream Creek Show before but my immediate predecessors, Governor William Cox and Sir Guy Green have been to the Bream Creek Show more than once and get very excited about it. One year Governor Cox entered some walnuts that he pickled himself and his wife made a sponge cake and entered it in the Show. This year, the Chef and the Butler at Government House entered pickles and preserves, flower arrangements, shortbread and so on and the Head Gardener swore that this year the Vice-Regal pumpkin would take the prize but alas it was not to be! So what is it about the Bream Creek Show that makes it so special? I understand that people come from all over Tasmania to visit the Show down here. The first Show was held in 1886 and by 1899 there were no less than 500 entries in all classes of agriculture and horticulture produce. But it’s not longevity alone that makes the Bream Creek Show such a special Show, for the Launceston and Hobart Shows have a history as long as or longer than the Bream Creek Show. Also, I’ve been to the Hamilton Show, the Deloraine Show and the Chudleigh Show and although each has its own attractions none of them seem to draw the attention or the crowds that this Show does. The Bream Creek Show began primarily as a produce and home arts and crafts show.

  • House of Assembly Tuesday 22 May 2018
    Tuesday 22 May 2018 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m. and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Housing - Tenancy of Public Housing Properties Ms WHITE question to MINISTER for HOUSING, Mr JAENSCH [10.03 a.m.] On 13 April, you staged a photo opportunity at Warrane. You claimed to be handing over the keys to two new public housing properties, which were then left empty. In your first week of this parliament, almost three weeks ago, you said your advice was that tenants would move in by the end of that week of 4 May. You told this House - Housing Tasmania has advised me that the two new units in Warrane have been offered to tenants … One tenant is a priority applicant and is expected to move in by the end of the week. Did that tenant occupy this property at that time or did you mislead the parliament? ANSWER Madam Speaker, our Government is getting on with the job of putting more roofs over the heads of Tasmanians who need them. You have had a couple of weeks to come up with some good questions about what we are doing to solve Tasmania's housing shortage issue and provide houses for Tasmanians who need them. The best Labor can come up with is this issue they have been running with, that somehow there is some discrepancy between when houses are built, when they become available and who is going to move into them. The units I believe the Leader of the Opposition is referring to have been tenanted.

  • Appointing the Premier in a Hung Parliament — the Tasmanian Governor’S Choice
    Appointing the Premier in a Hung Parliament — The Tasmanian Governor’s Choice Anne Twomey * Introduction The Tasmanian Governor’s choice to grant a commission to David Bartlett as Premier in April 2010 proved to be highly controversial. Fortunately, the Governor, the Hon. Peter Underwood, published on the internet his reasons 1 and the documents upon which he had relied. 2 It is important that a more permanent record is made of these constitutionally significant events. This article, therefore, sets out the background to this controversy, the events leading up to the Governor’s decision and the Governor’s justification for it. It then provides a brief critical analysis of the Governor’s decision and suggests that it should not be used as a precedent for the future. Background The election for the Tasmanian House of Assembly was held on 20 March 2010. Twenty five seats were filled, with five Members being elected in each of five electorates according to the Hare-Clark proportional voting system. The result was that both the Labor Party and the Liberal Party won ten seats and the Greens won five seats. There was a swing against Labor of 12.39% and the Liberals won more primary votes than Labor. 3 During the election campaign, there had been much speculation about a hung parliament. The Labor Premier, David Bartlett, and the Opposition Leader, Will Hodgman, had both stated during the election campaign that they would not negotiate with the Greens and they would not compromise their respective policies. 4 Mr Bartlett had also said that if the two major parties achieved an equal number of seats, then the party with the greater number of votes should have the first right to form a government.

  • Annual Report 2018
    Annual Report 2018 Our History Launched in February 2015, the Peter Underwood Centre is a partnership between the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Government in association with the Office of the Governor of Tasmania. The Centre is the tangible expression of the Making the Future Partnership Agreement, and was founded with the full support of the University Council. The Honourable Peter Underwood AC (Tasmania’s 27th Governor) began the conversation with the University of Tasmania that led to its creation, and we are honoured that the Centre bears his name. Mr Underwood was a passionate believer in the transformative power of education and held the conviction that the most important infrastructure of any nation is an educated and functionally literate population. Mrs Frances Underwood is the Patron of the Peter Underwood Centre. Our Advisory Committee was established in November 2015, under the leadership of Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AC, Governor of Tasmania. Our Director, Professor Natalie Brown, joined the Underwood Centre in June 2017. The Underwood Centre convened the biennial Education Transform Symposium in 2015 and 2017, bringing together scholars, policy-makers and practitioners to focus on educational attainment. In 2017 the Underwood Centre relocated to a new Hobart CBD office, which includes a new blended learning resource for the Tasmanian community to enhance engagement in learning. The A-Lab has been co-funded, co- designed and co-resourced by the University and the Department of Education. “Education perhaps more than anything else is a passport to a better life.” - Peter Underwood Thank you Our approach is centred on collaborative practice.

  • Improving Literacy and Education Standards in Tasmania
    1 IMPROVING LITERACY AND EDUCATION STANDARDS IN TASMANIA ROYAL SOCIETY LECTURE DELIVERED BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA, TUESDAY 16 MARCH 2021 Good evening. I begin by paying my respects to the traditional and original owners of this land— the palawa people. I acknowledge the contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights. When asked if I would deliver a Royal Society lecture on a topic of my choice I chose the topic of improving literacy and education standards in Tasmania as a way of summarising all I have learnt about the current situation and what we in Tasmania are doing to improve it. Like many others, I was shocked by the oft quoted 48% functionally illiterate statistic and the well below Australian average Year 12 completion rates. Since becoming Governor, I have been made a Patron of Education Ambassadors, Chair of the Advisory Committee of the Peter Underwood Centre, Patron of Connect42 and have been associated with 26Ten and as a result have attended many seminars and lectures on education. And as Governor I have visited many schools and Child and Family Centres around the State. But at the same time, I must stress that I am not speaking as an expert. After a brief overview of some indicators of literacy and educational attainment in Tasmania, I will talk about some of the ways we are addressing these deficits: the Basics project, the Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment, Connect42, 26Ten and Child and Family Centres.

  • House of Assembly Wednesday 20 March 2019
    Wednesday 20 March 2019 Madam Speaker, Ms Hickey¸ took the Chair at 10 a.m. acknowledged the Traditional People and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Investigation into Alleged Historic Sex Abuse - Mr Rene Hidding Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.04 a.m.] You have desperately tried to convince Tasmanians that you are the leader of a stable majority Government. In fact, you are in charge of a chaotic government that reached such depths of bedlam last week and last month that you took the extraordinary step to prorogue this parliament. Serious allegations of historic sexual abuse of a child have recently been made against your former ministerial colleague and your choice for the Speaker of this parliament, Mr Hidding, six years after they were first raised in 2013. Can you explain why, after these claims of historic sex abuse were made to the police six years ago, the first person the alleged victim heard from was allegedly Mr Hidding. On 23 February you said you referred this matter to the Tasmania Police. Can you outline the scope of the current investigation and confirm it will include the events of six years ago, now that these serious allegations have been raised again in both the media and directly with your office? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I ask that all members exercise caution in relation to what are serious matters that are appropriately being investigated by Tasmania Police. It is not for me, or any member opposite to direct or seek to influence investigations that should be appropriately undertaken by Tasmania Police.
