  • Download Tasmanian Chapter
    Chapter(7(–((Tasmania( Roller-coaster ride for local liberties Rights and liberties were probably uppermost in the minds of the first prisoners transported to Van Diemen’s Land (VDL) in 1803, but convicts don’t write the histories of peoples or states. What the prisoners of Port Arthur thought about the principles involved is not well documented, and lies buried like the bodies on the Isle of the Dead. Details of the floggings, escapes, burials – things that can be counted and tabulated – are generally available, but not the philosophies of inmates in what was one of the world’s first “model prisons”. In the future, the period from first English settlement in 1803, through becoming a colony separate from New South Wales in 1825, to the official naming of the island as Tasmania in 1856, will be explored in detail from a liberties, rights and freedoms perspective, but that task awaits other historians and commentators. For this telling, snapshots of the system are all that is gleanable. One unlikely champion of civil liberty in the first century of the European occupation of the island was the State Governor, Sir Henry Edward Fox Young (photo), in 1855. He stepped in when the Legislative Council (LC)1 tried to order Dr Hampton, comptroller-general of prisons, to appear (before it) to give evidence. Hampton refused, so the LC issued a warrant for his arrest. Hampton retaliated by serving a writ of habeas corpus on the Speaker and the serjeant-at-arms. The LC applied to the governor to authorise the police to apprehend Dr Hampton.

  • The Law Defeats Justice – Again – in Australia's Deep South [Barbara
    The law defeats justice – again – in Australia’s deep south By CLA CEO Bill Rowlings The Full Court of the Supreme Court of Tasmania has effectively denied noted pro bono lawyer, Barbara Etter, her ability to be a member of the legal profession…on a technicality of legislation. She will no longer practise law. She has “quit the profession”. Mrs Etter (photo) made that announcement after the Supreme Court dismissed her appeal against a ruling of the Legal Profession Board (LPB) of Tasmania* last month. The ruling effectively ordered her to hand over the complete contents, gathered over many years, of her privileged communications with a client in a coroner’s court matter, the Greer case. The LPB had already decided – after remarks by coroner Olivia McTaggart – that the LPB would not (repeat, not) proceed against Etter over the coroner’s disparaging comments. But then one angry half of an inter-sibling dispute that was at the heart of the bitter coronial case made a personal complaint against Etter, who had represented the complainant’s sister. So the LPB effectively re-activated the complaint mechanism on the matter that it had decided to not proceed with, and sooled its in-house investigator on to the case. The LPB investigator demanded the entire case file, that is all documents relating to the case. So, the LPB dispute recently decided by the Supreme Court ended up being over whether or not Etter would hand over all the documents, hard and electronic, both legal and ‘isn’t it a lovely day’ emails, in her case file.

  • House of Assembly Wednesday 2 May 2018
    Wednesday 2 May 2018 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m., acknowledged the Traditional People, and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Royal Hobart Hospital - Emergency Department Issues Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.02 a.m.] Did you know that yesterday there were 63 patients stuck in the emergency department at the Royal Hobart Hospital, patients were being treated in three corridors, and there were 10 ambulances ramped? This is bad for patients and bad for stressed staff. If anything, it looks like this winter will be worse than last winter. Why was the hospital not escalated to level 4, as staff were asking for? Was there political pressure not to escalate due to the parliament resuming? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question but would cast a very healthy level of scepticism over any suggestions from her as to what this Government might do other than ensure we get on with the job of delivering on our record level of investment and commitments that will go to delivering the health service, which is improving under our Government and that we promised in the election. That is what we are focusing on. We recognise that there are pressures on the health system. That is why, with our budget back in balance, we have been able to commit a record amount over the last four years, $7 billion in the last budget and $750 million, to boost our efforts to improve the health system Tasmanians need. We will need to not only build the health system and the infrastructure to support it - Members interjecting.

  • 1. the Sex Discrimination Act and Its Rocky Rite of Passage
    1. The Sex Discrimination Act and its Rocky Rite of Passage Margaret.Thornton.and.Trish.Luker Through an analysis of the parliamentary debates on the Sex Discrimination Bill 1983–84, this chapter underscores the anxiety that preoccupied the opponents of the Bill. Their fear that the Bill would give rise to a totalitarian regime, reminiscent of an Eastern bloc country, is clearly apparent from their own words. Not only would the passage of the Bill signal a blow to democracy, it would result in the creation of a unisex society and, most significantly, the demise of the nuclear family. Introduction Will the Prime Minister give an assurance to Australian women that neither the Government’s proposed sex discrimination Bill nor ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women will in any way discriminate against women who choose life within the family, will not force them to go out to work, separate them from their children or break up their families, as some people have recently been suggesting?1 The passage of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) (SDA) represents a high political moment in the history of gender relations in Australia. The seemingly protracted debates of 1983–842 were marked by a deep anxiety about sex roles, the patriarchal family and the wellbeing of children. The hysterical propaganda campaign and the fear engendered by the Bill were out of all proportion to its modest liberal intent that women be ‘let in’ to certain domains of public and quasi-public life, including employment, on the same terms as men.

  • Inaugural Speech
    Hon. Dr. Vanessa Goodwin MLC Legislative Council Date: 3 September 2009 Electorate: Pembroke Dr GOODWIN (Pembroke - Inaugural) - Madam President, I support the bill and believe it represents an appropriate course of action in the circumstances. At the outset, I would like to acknowledge the Honourable Paul Calvert; Senator Guy Barnett; Senator David Bushby; the Leader of the Opposition, the Honourable Will Hodgman; Her Majesty's shadow attorney-general, the Honourable Michael Hodgman; former Franklin member, John Beattie; and friends, family and fellow Liberals. Madam President, I feel very privileged indeed to have been elected as the member for Pembroke and have thoroughly enjoyed the first few weeks in my new role. I thank you, Madam President, and all honourable members of the Legislative Council for the warm welcome that I have received. I am also extremely grateful to the staff of the Legislative Council for the wonderful support they have provided over the last few weeks. I have appreciated the opportunity to just sit and watch proceedings in the upper House over the last week prior to giving my inaugural speech. I have been interested to observe the predominantly collegial nature of the Chamber that I believe is likely to contribute to good outcomes for the community. There is no doubt that there is a strong emphasis on accountability and review, but debate seems to be conducted in a respectful manner and interjections are often constructive or humorous in nature, rather than being demeaning or negative. I think this is to be commended and I believe that my personality, skills and experience will be well suited to this Chamber.

    Michelle O’Byrne MP House of Assembly Date: 30 May 2006 Electorate: Bass ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Ms O'BYRNE (Bass - Inaugural) - Mr Speaker, I have the honour to move - That the following address be presented to His Excellency the Governor in reply to His Excellency's speech. To His Excellency the Honourable William John Ellis Cox, Companion of the Order of Australia, Governor in and over the State of Tasmania and its dependencies in the Commonwealth of Australia: MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY: We, Her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the members of the House of Assembly of Tasmania, in Parliament assembled, desire to thank Your Excellency for the speech which you have been pleased to address to both Houses of Parliament. We desire to record our continued loyalty to the Throne and Person of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, and at the same time assure Your Excellency that the measures which will be laid before us during the session will receive our careful consideration. Mr Speaker, in this my inaugural speech I commence by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land upon which this House rests and has met for the last 150 years. I congratulate all members of the House on their election. To my colleague, the member for Denison, Ms Singh, I extend particularly warm congratulations on her first election to this place. I am not the first member of parliament to be given the opportunity to make a second first speech. It is in fact a reasonably common occurrence for Australians in public office to serve first in the Federal Parliament and then at a State level, or vice versa.
