Ms O'CONNOR question to ACTING PREMIER, Mr ROCKLIFF
-
Dr WOODRUFF (Franklin) - Madam Speaker, it is my great pleasure to share with the House a fantastic climate leaders conference I went to last week, which was intended to equip students across Tasmania with the skills to become climate leaders in their own schools and communities.
-
Ms O'CONNOR (Denison - Leader of the Greens) - Madam Speaker, I rise to speak on the adjournment tonight about a matter we have raised in this place a number of times and I am going to do it again. I know it makes people uncomfortable in here but our job is to speak truth to power.
-
Dr WOODRUFF (Franklin) - Madam Speaker, the Australian Crime Commission legislation went through the Australian Parliament in 2016. It was the second bill to merge the activities of an entity into the Australian Crime Commission. The first entity to be merged was the Australian Institute of Criminology.
-
Ms O'CONNOR (Denison - Leader of the Greens) - Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on behalf of the Greens to indicate that we too will be supporting this legislation, and recognise it makes a number of significant, but minor, amendments to the principal act in order to better align the act with the Homes Act 1935, which is some of the most robust but antique legislation we administer in this place.
-
Dr WOODRUFF (Franklin) - Mr Deputy Speaker, this bill that comes back into our place was roundly rejected by the Greens last time. The bill is in exactly the same form as it was. Despite the fact that there was more opportunity to consult than with the initial 2017 amendment bill, it seems the minister has failed to listen to the concerns raised in a number of the submissions, albeit very hastily prepared submissions because the consultation process for the last amendment bill 2017 was very poor.
-
Dr WOODRUFF (Franklin) - Mr Deputy Speaker, I was confused when I saw this as the topic for the matter of public importance this morning. My initial response was concern but I decided to hold my assessment of what Labor was going to say in this matter until I had heard the words. I am in total support of what the minister has said.

-
Dr WOODRUFF (Franklin) - Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise to make some comments about references made in the adjournment debate yesterday by the member for Franklin, David O'Byrne, and by the Deputy Premier, Minister for Infrastructure, Jeremy Rockliff.
-
Ms O'CONNOR (Denison - Leader of the Greens) - Mr Deputy Speaker, let the Hansard record show that the Premier is on his way out the door after delivering that wholly inadequate response to the questions we asked this morning. We still do not have any clarity on why the Tasmanian Walking Company was given approval to build a helipad.
-
