  • National Broadband Network Companies Amendment (Tasmania
    Labor Senators' Dissenting Report 1.1 The intent of the National Broadband Network Companies Amendment (Tasmania) Bill 2014 is to legislate for the fulfilment of the promise Tasmanians believed was made to them prior to the 2013 election. Nothing in the Chair's Report addresses this fundamental issue. 1.2 Australians generally may already be immune to the ongoing saga of the Coalition’s broken promises. Not least of these was the promise made by the Minister for Communications and the Prime Minister in April 2013 that all premises would have access to download speeds of 25 Mbps by 20161. 1.3 So confident was the Prime Minister in this promise that on the night of the election in his “letter to the people of Australia” he wrote: We will deliver a new business plan for the NBN so that we can deliver faster broadband sooner and at less cost. I want our NBN rolled out within three years and Malcolm Turnbull is the right person to make this happen.2 1.4 The promise that all premises would have access to download speeds of 25 Mbps by 2016 was unashamedly broken by Minister Turnbull only three months after the election.3 1.5 The specifics of the promise made to Tasmanians were outlined in Senator Urquhart’s second reading speech. Key issues raised in the second reading speech are as follows. 1.6 The statement by TasICT Executive Officer Dean Winter on 27 May 2013 saying he was confident that the that the rollout would occur as planned because Mr Turnbull had written to assure him that the Coalition intended to honour existing fibre to the premises (FTTP) contracts.4 1.7 The issue came to the fore again on 15 August 2013 when the now Prime Minister released the ‘Economic Growth Plan for Tasmania’ that announced that the Coalition would only honour contracts “underway.” Mr Turnbull, aided by Senator Bushby, again reassured Tasmanians that the NBN would be completed under the 5 original contract to roll out FTTP across Tasmania.

Mayor of Kingborough, Cr Dean Winter expects the new playground to open in autumn. “We will have the playground ready to go in March,” Mayor Winter stated. “Things are progressing well with contractors making good progress towards completion. “The aim is to have the playground open to the public in early March. “I am a little disappointed we could not get it finished in time for the summer school holidays, but we had a few COVID-related setbacks in the second half of last year, especially with getting various components into the state. “The playground is the next component of our plan to transform Kingston from a tired old highway town to a thriving, exciting place to be. “Kingston has to be a place people want to come to,” explained Mayor Winter. “A place for them to sit, wander, eat and drink. “It can’t just be a place you drive to, buy something and get back in the car and leave. “The playground, the new townhouse development on the site, community hub and hopefully a major employer on the site down the track will all contribute to making Kingborough a great place to live.” A transformation of the Channel Highway through the heart of Kingston’s main business and shopping hub is also set to commence this year.

AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY ISSUE No. 576 5/32 Channel Highway, Kingston. 7050 • Ph: 6229 3655 • Email [email protected] TUESDAY, 20 APRIL 2021 Locals fall into poverty trap Bruny Island resident Belinda Curtis has spoken out about the reality of the local housing crisis after losing work during the coronavirus pandemic and becoming financially trapped in what she describes as a “catch-22” poverty situation. The 42-year-old single mother of three children aged 17, 19 and 21, said she was forced to leave her rented home on Bruny Island due to the loss of guest accommodation services income resulting from border closures in 2020. Speaking with the Kingborough Chronicle on April 15, Ms Curtis said she is currently staying at the home of her daughter and her daughter’s partner on Bruny Island. Ms Curtis’ current circumstances coincide with the end of Federal Government coronavirus Jobkeeper payments and Jobseeker supplement, a reported shortfall of 11,000 affordable homes in Tasmania and housing waiting lists reportedly at the highest levels seen in a decade. Australian Bureau of Statistics data released on April 15 recorded an increase in both the unemployment and underemployment rate in Tasmania during the March 2021 quarter. The unemployment increased to 5.9 per cent and underemployment increased to 9.4 per cent in Tasmania, both figures are higher than the national figures of 5.6 per cent and 7.9 per cent respectively.

Force and won Whether they were on the winning or losing side (I was on the latter) every person I spoke to post-match was thrilled that proper footy was back. For Melburnians – who suffered the longest lockdown of any group of Australians – the feeling of joy was palpable. Change was in the air – something that is not isolated to sport in Australia.
