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.

Yesterday for the 3rd time in 3 years, Leg Co supported my motion calling for reform of the current ministerial diaries disclosure system.

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.
