Gaming Control Amendment (Future Gaming Market) Bill 2021Our opposition to this bill, which entrenches a rotten, life destroying, poker machine empire in disadvantaged communities has been long and consistent. |
|
Gaming Control Amendment (Future Gaming Market) Bill 2021As we know, the proliferation of poker machines in areas of socio-economic disadvantage across the state has had a profoundly harmful impact. |
|
Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Amendment Bill 2021I think we all agree that we get better outcomes when people are as involved as possible and able to talk as comfortably as possible. |
|
Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas EmissionsThe Government announced a 2030 greenhouse gas emissions target that we reached six years ago, thanks in large part to the carbon stored in our forests. |

|

|
|
Energy - Net Carbon Zero EmissionsThe announcement to enshrine net carbon zero emissions by 2030 is cynical non action on the climate crisis. We already reached that milestone. |
|
Auditor-General's Report into Local Government RecruitmentThis is a critical position and the Auditor General's report was very concerning and for some councils it was damning. |
|
|
Gaming IndustryI want to talk about the unhealthy relationship between the gambling industry and the two major parties in this state. |
|
Alcohol and Drug Dependency Repeal Bill 2021It is distressing to think that reviews into the Alcohol and Drug Dependency Act indicated as far back as 14 years ago that this was out of date at that point. |
