You helped mount a joyful, decent, honest campaign and you are reaping the reward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On your behalf, I look forward to four years in Parliament representing the best interests of Franklin and the best interests of Tasmania.
Our campaign won on the back of the clearest of principles.<\/p>\n

Four pillars:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Budget Repair, Social Repair, Island Repair and Integrity Repair to guide us for the next four years.
It\u2019ll mean working above narrow political interests to create a healthier state, better education outcomes, more sustainable jobs and adequate housing for all Tasmanians.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll mean protecting, nurturing and valuing both our natural resources - like our native forests and waterways - as well as our human resources by achieving better education, health and housing that drive the growth of sustainable jobs, a sustainable economy and better lives.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll mean nurturing the growth of small businesses that are the backbone of our state\u2019s economic life instead of subsidising and favouring the big end of town - the multinationals, the corporate interests, the entitled insiders that have captured the two old parties.
This is where it should start.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • End the destruction of our waterways by multinational industrial fish farms.<\/li>\n
  • Stand up to the bullies of the AFL and demand men and women\u2019s teams without breaking the bank on an unnecessary, unwanted stadium.<\/li>\n
  • Drive forward legislation that rebuilds trust in public life through an Integrity Commission fully resourced and enabled with investigative freedom to genuinely do its job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Across Tasmania, voters seem to have sent the clearest of messages to the two old parties \u00a0- never again will either of them govern in majority.<\/p>\n

    They\u2019d better get used to it and learn some humility.<\/p>\n

    The reality is the debt crisis is now so bad we need a government of our best, not of our worst. A Government chosen from across the Parliament that includes the cross-bench from both chambers, regardless of political affiliations.<\/p>\n
