  • 19Th February, 2010 Bruce Taylor Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner
    19th February, 2010 Bruce Taylor Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner GPO Box 300 HOBART, Tasmania 7001 [email protected] Electoral Act 2004, Section 191 – Electoral matter on the Internet Dear Bruce, The enacting and subsequent promise to repeal a section of electoral law in South Australia this year has brought attention to the fact that Tasmania has a similar regulation regarding electoral matter on the Internet. As you are aware, section 191 of the Electoral Act 2004 requires that any electoral content be authorised with name and address information. We the undersigned request that this section of law not to be enforced in relation to this election and for a review to be undertaken by the new parliament at its earliest convenience. No public interest would be served by enforcement of this law. Whilst section 191 has been in force during a previous state election, new social networking tools such as Blogs, Facebook and Twitter to name a few have risen to prominence and are used on a daily basis by thousands in Tasmania including political parties. These technologies present new challenges to compliance and enforcement. The definition of electoral matter is so broad that any mention of the election could be construed to fall under this definition. If you are unable to assure the public that this section will not be enforced, we believe that the public will: - Refuse to post about the election on the Internet, stifling legitimate debate, - Follow the letter of the law and proceed to publish their name with electoral matter which opens them up to a range of privacy infringements including physical or employment threats as well as identity fraud, or - Simply disregard the law requiring them to put their name and address to any “electoral matter” online.

A very special thanks goes to some very generous donors, including some Committee members and others among our members and supporters, and to Darren and Jody at Resilience Marketing for their great efforts and support. The support deserved a better result but there were positives. The community support for voluntary assisted dying and of the 8 MPs who spoke and voted for the Bill came through stronger than ever. The debate also showed the support in-principle among MPs was much greater than the vote showed.

  • Tasmania: Majority Or Minority Government? *
    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Tasmania: Majority or Minority Government? * Michael Lester and Dain Bolwell PhD Candidate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania Associate, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Tasmania * Double-blind reviewed article. INTRODUCTION While the outcome of the March 2018 Tasmanian State Election was predictable,1 the controversies that dogged the campaign were not. Yet it was the aftermath of the election that was most astonishing—not only to the public but also to members of Cabinet. Tasmania is different. Its parliamentary institutions are unusual and its electoral system is distinctive. So were the issues on which the March 2018 state election was fought. In the lead up to the election both major parties campaigned to govern alone or not at all—neither in minority nor in coalition with the Greens. As well as this apparently overarching concern, there were three other major issues prominent during the campaign—an acute housing shortage, the thousands of poker machines in pubs and clubs, and the surprise matter of gun control. Health, education, law and order, the economy and who would best manage the budget were, as usual, also policy battle grounds; however, the minority government fear campaign, a television blitz on the benefits of poker machines and considerable 1 N.
