  • 2014 Hockey Tasmania Annual Report
    HOCKEY TASMANIA ANNUAL REPORT 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 1 For the first time in Tasmanian hockey history the Tassie Tigers won the Australian Hockey League title. The Tigers finished top of their pool winning through to the medal pool, finishing second which gave them the right to play Western Australia in the final. The final was very much an exciting game with the Tigers down by two goals early on, but clawed their way back into the game having complete control in the last quarter where they levelled the game and were unlucky not to win during normal time. The Tigers then had to go through a series of shootouts. After the first round it was still even and the Tigers eventually won their very first nation title after going through a series of sudden death shootouts.

  • House of Assembly Wednesday 29 May 2019
    Wednesday 29 May 2019 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m., acknowledged the Traditional People and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Hospitals - Implementation of Recommendations of the Auditor-General Ms WHITE question to MINISTER for HEALTH, Mr FERGUSON [10.02 a.m.] The annual $100 million blackhole in health funding remains and total funding for health services in Tasmania increased by less than $11 million or 0.5 per cent over the next year and just $5 million the following year. You know that the Auditor-General yesterday released an 18-month investigation into emergency rooms at each of Tasmania's four major public hospitals and found an unacceptable and dangerous situation. His most damning finding is that between 2015 and 2018 - on your watch - there was a 60 per cent increase in adverse events in emergency departments. Sick people presenting at EDs are getting sicker and Tasmanians are dying avoidable deaths. The Auditor-General makes a clear recommendation that you sufficiently resource hospital teams urgently. Are you finally listening and will you adopt that recommendation now? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for her question. Yes, the Government is listening. I am listening and we will never stop listening. I want to say from the outset that there are political points to be made on both sides of the Chamber around funding. We will always stand up for our strong record in providing extra funding into the health system each and every year. Many commentators including members opposite who failed to produce an alternative budget yesterday will have different points of view, which also can be made.
