  • MEDIA STATEMENT Peak Body Welcomes Upper House Support of Pill Testing Motion
    MEDIA STATEMENT Peak Body welcomes Upper House support of pill testing motion The Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Council of Tasmania has congratulated the Tasmanian Legislative Council members who supported Member for Murchison, Ruth Forrest’s pill testing motion this evening. ATDC chief executive, Alison Lai said that while the final motion stopped short of calling on the Tasmanian Government to trial pill testing during this festival season, she was very pleased with the outcome, which would assist in keeping a Tasmanian pill testing trial a possibility in the future. “First and foremost we are respectful of the Tasmanian Government’s position that they are not ready, at this stage, to conduct a trial of pill testing,” Ms Lai said. “We appreciate that this is not a matter that will be able to be resolved before the upcoming festival season, and we thank them for their ongoing commitment to reviewing the evidence as it becomes available. “The concept of pill testing continues to generate strong interest and opinions across the broader community, and these diverse views are being mirrored in our parliament. “It is still our position that there is sufficient evidence to conduct a trial of pill testing in Tasmania and we remain committed to working with government to address any concerns that they may have. “We are encouraged by tonight’s outcome, which sends a clear message that the Upper House wants to see strategies introduced to reduce the harms of illicit drugs at our music festivals and events, and that there continues to be broad support for keeping pill testing on the table as a potential option for the future.

  • 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.

  • Legislative Council
    - 2013 Parliament of Tasmania LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL – Twenty-fourth Annual Report to 30 June 2013 – Presented to both Houses of Parliament pursuant to section 30 of the Financial Management and Audit Act 1990 A HOUSE OF REVIEW BACKGROUND The Legislative Council of Tasmania was established in 1825 as a unicameral legislature following the separation of Van Diemen's Land from New South Wales. On 3 December of that year, Governor Darling of New South Wales proclaimed Van Diemen's Land as a separate colony, and simultaneously the first Legislative Council was created consisting of six nominee Members and the Lieut.-Governor, Colonel George Arthur. The continuing prosperity and population growth of the colony were reflected by the increase in membership of the Council. In 1828, as a result of an Imperial Act, the Council was increased to 15 nominee Members (6 official and 8 unofficial) with the Governor as Presiding Officer. In 1851, the Legislative Council Membership was further increased to a total of 24 Members. 16 Members were elected by restricted franchise and 8 Members were nominated by the Governor, who ceased to be a Member. From 1850 until 1856 the Presiding Officer in the Council was known as the Speaker. The Members elected Sir Richard Dry as the first incumbent of that position. In 1856 the title of the Presiding Officer changed from that of Speaker to President. During the 1840s the British Colonial Office argued that the penal transportation system should continue. The colonists argued against any further influx of convicts and believed that their interests would be better served by a form of representative government for the colony.
