  • 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.

  • Hartill, Eric
    30/05/2020 Secretariat to PESRAC E: [email protected] Re Tasmanian economic and social recovery strategy Thank you for the opportunity to provide some suggestions and ideas for re- progressing the Tasmanian economy and social fabric. I am sure that you will be made aware of a myriad of possible projects similar in nature to a number of mine. It will be a difficult task to assess the best of those ranging from community benefit upgrades right through to state-wide mega infrastructure impacts. Given the current situation where our people are transiting out of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown how do we now commence this undertaking? Certainly it is recognised that one of the important factors for the mental well- being of our communities will be a return to engaging in sports and the arts. It is also recognised that for our economy to return to a semblance of normality it will require proceeding with a variety of infrastructure developments. Some of these could already be termed as “shovel ready” whilst others can proceed over the ensuing budget years to achieve lasting effects. What is important to realise is that humanity has always proven resilient in its nature and that it will be quicker than many might estimate for economic upturns to occur. Which is why it is essential that we revitalise our economic situation for the new return waves of visitors who undoubtedly will be seeking us out. Therefore I wish to list the following segmental lists for consideration. A. Currently either planned or stage listed for future.
