  • LABOR NEWSNEWS Octoberoctober 2008 2012 PREMIER’S MESSAGE an Abbott Federal Government Would Be a Disaster for Tasmania
    LABORLABOR NEWSNEWS OctoberOctober 2008 2012 PREMIER’S MESSAGE An Abbott Federal Government would be a disaster for Tasmania. It’s difficult to overstate the damage that the federal Opposition leader’s policies would do to the Tasmanian economy and government services if he is ever elected Prime Minister. The single biggest threat is the Liberal Party’s stance on the distribution of GST revenue. Mainland Liberal Premiers are united in pushing for a per capita distribution of GST revenue, which would strip up to $700 million per annum from Tasmania’s budget. That’s the equivalent of $5000 for every Tasmanian household. Mr Abbott has consistently expressed sympathy and support for his Liberal colleague’s campaign. His claims that such an approach would not disadvantage Tasmania are laughable. Liberal Premiers are pursuing a change in the way GST revenue is distributed because they PREMIER LARA GIDDINGS want to get their hands on more of it. With a finite amount of cash available, giving more to WA, Victoria, Queensland and NSW must mean there’s less available for the smaller States. The impact on public services in Tasmania of a further massive reduction in GST revenue would be devastating. But the potential damage to Tasmania of an Abbott government does not end there. Mr Abbott’s pledge to repeal the price on carbon would strip a further $70 million per annum from Tasmania, as we benefit financially from our strong advantage in renewable energy. He has also pledged to abandon the NBN, which would cost Tasmania 800 jobs in the roll-out phase and jeopardise our place in the new digital economy.

Instead, a diversity of agencies, laws, practices and ethical codes are required to effectively tackle misconduct and promote integrity (Brown, 2005). The existing mechanisms available in Tasmania to respond to misconduct and promote integrity include: Parliament; The Ombudsman; The State Service Commissioner; The Auditor-General; The Director of Public Prosecutions; Tasmania Police; Commissions of Inquiry; and Legislation – including the Freedom of Information Act 1991, the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2002, and relevant provisions of the State Service Act 2000 and the Local Government Act 1993. Mechanisms such as codes of conduct help to promote integrity, while mechanisms such as freedom of information legislation and the oversight provided by parliamentary committees and the Auditor-General promote transparency.

  • 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.
