I thank the Attorney-General for taking on board feedback I & others have raised on behalf of many hurt, angry & bewildered Tasmanians impacted by this shocking situation. The commitment to a formal apology is an important one.

The unexplained absence of the Gender Budget Impact Statement from the Interim State Budget papers is an alarming and regressive step.

Strengthening our democracy is a prioity for me.
My 2023 motion prompted Govt to begin disclosing Ministerial diaries, but the model is woefully inadequate & opaque.
In compliance with my Sept motion, Govt have released consultation paper on improving Ministerial diary disclosure scheme

It was an honour to be in our Upper House as it united to pass an important Bill providing financial redress for victims of former Tas laws against homosexuality and cross dressing.

Respected advocate Rodney Croome provided MLCs with briefings & joined us during the moving debate.

It was a morion of mine in the Legislative Council in Nov 2023 which prompted the Premier, Jeremy Rockliff, to establish the Woolcott Review.

The Tatarka Review Report was made public today.
Community outrage at an apparent lack of accountability from the Commission of Inquiry prompted the Govt to commission the Tatarka Review.
I think many people will still be frustrated.

Read my Talking Point in today’s Mercury Newspaper on the shameful attitude of the Rockliff Govt to the preventable harm being wrought on Tasmanian families by pokies. Losses are at decade highs, half is coming from people being harmed. The pokies card is the expert-advised way forward.

Tasmanians lost almost $18.5 million on pokies in July alone - almost $600,000 a day.
Annual losses for 2024-25 totalled $193,908,165 - decade-high losses.
Pokies harm in Tas is a direct result of Lib/Lab kowtowing to pokies barons.

No seriously, things are going just fine in Tasmania’s new parliament
Unbelievably, the composition of Tasmania's new government presents more opportunities than challenges — if the major parties are willing to take them.
