  • Composition of Australian Parliaments by Party and Gender: a Quick Guide
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2016–17 16 MAY 2017 Composition of Australian parliaments by party and gender: a quick guide Anna Hough Politics and Public Administration This quick guide contains the most recent tables showing the composition of Australian parliaments by party and gender (see Table 1 and Table 2 below). It takes into account changes to the Commonwealth parliament and the parliaments of Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania since the last update was published on 20 February 2017. Commonwealth • In the Senate, Peter Georgiou (PHON, WA) replaces Rod Culleton (Ind., WA), whose election was declared void by the High Court sitting as the Court of Disputed returns. Senator Georgiou was sworn in on 27 March 2017. • Senator Lucy Gichuhi (Ind., SA) replaces Bob Day (Family First Party, SA) following Day’s resignation in November 2016. In late April 2017 the Family First Party merged with the Australian Conservatives (with the combined party to be called the Australian Conservatives). Senator Gichuhi, who was sworn in on 9 May 2017, has opted not to join the merged party. Western Australia • The figures for Western Australia reflect the results of the state general election held on 11 March 2017. New members of the Legislative Council elected on that date are included in the figures, and will take their seats on 22 May 2017.

  • Media Release
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Legislative Council Select Committee Inquiry MEDIA RELEASE 16 November 201 7 Inquiry into the TasWater Ownership The Legislative Council Select Committee inquiring into TasWater Ownership has tabled its Final Report today. The Inquiry was intended to take evidence in order to assist Legislative Council Members in deliberating the Government’s proposed takeover of TasWater. The Inquiry resulted in 48 findings covering infrastructure, funding, trade waste, the viability of the proposed new entity, the feasibility of the Government’s proposed accelerated infrastructure program and the potential impact on councils as a result of the takeover of TasWater. A key finding is that payment of dividends to council is not guaranteed to occur after 2025. If councils’ TasWater dividends were reduced the sustainability of some councils to provide services may be jeopardized and some councils may need to increase their rates as a result. The Inquiry also examined TasWater’s environmental compliance record and found 25 Tasmanian towns are still on boil water alerts, although TasWater has removed 17 such alerts since commencing operation and has stated that it will be in a position to remove all boil water alerts by August 2018. Mrs Armitage extended the thanks of the Committee to all organisations and individuals who provided evidence to the Inquiry. The Final Report is available on a dedicated Inquiry page of the parliament of Tasmania website at: http://www.parliament.tas.gov.au/ctee/Council/Reports/two.171116.rpt.FINAL.ne.001.pdf Members of the Committee are: Hon Rosemary Armitage MLC (Chair) Hon Robert Armstrong MLC Hon Craig Farrell MLC Hon Kerry Finch MLC (to 11 September 2017) Hon Mike Gaffney MLC Hon Tania Rattray MLC (Deputy Chair) Hon Rob Valentine MLC ends FURTHER INFORMATION: Chairperson Rosemary Armitage MLC (03) 6212 2353 .

LABOR LEADER Tasmania’s biggest economic challenge before COVID-19 was job creation. The pandemic has only compounded the problem. Creating jobs and getting more people into secure and stable jobs is Labor’s number one priority. But they must be good jobs. COVID-19 exposed the weaknesses in our economy: an over reliance on certain industries, high rates of casualisation and underemployment. We need to address these issues in our recovery or we will remain exposed to repeating the mistakes of the past.
