Liberal Party State Director, Sam McQuestin today announced that Bernadette Black has been endorsed by the Liberal Party for the Federal seat of Franklin at the next election.
“Bernadette is a small business woman, mother of three, registered nurse and professional speaker. To add to all this Bernadette was awarded the Barnardo’s Australian Mother of the year in 2009. Bernadette’s rich life experience means that she understands the many pressures the people of Franklin are contending with on a day to day basis.” Mr McQuestin said.
“The people of Franklin have been let down in recent years and I’m sure Bernadette will work to restore the Hope Reward and Opportunity that Franklin needs,” Mr McQuestin said
“I am honoured to be selected to represent the Liberal Party at the next election,” Mrs Black said.
“Franklin has been let down by the current labor member. She has voted to impose the carbon tax to increase our cost of living and has stood by while our forest industry is threatened. Mrs Black said.
“This election will be a choice between staying put in acts of simple political survival or going forward with integrity and a real commitment to restoring confidence and private investment in our region,” Mrs Black said.

I am a resident of Franklin and totally disappointed in the current members support of the ALP’s poker machine policy.
Will you Mrs Black be acting to limit the machines to $1.00 bets (it use to be Liberal Policy) or do you support the expansion of gaming as Will Hodgman does.
Will you be accepting donations from Tobacco companies and Federal Hotels?
Will you vote to limit Tasmania’s share of the GST as your Leader Mr Abbott says he will do?
What does ‘staying put in simple acts of political survival’ mean. Would I be right to think that you will never have a thought different from Eric Abetz or does that sentence mean something else.
Can you give the electorate an idea what ‘restoring confidence and private investment in our region’ involves? What plans for private investment are there that you know about?
Now you mention it, Sam, she is a bit small…
“Staying put in simple acts of political survival?” What does that mean?
“private investment” - as opposed to what - open and transparent investment?
Sorry to be unkind, but sheesh. These are federal seats representing tens of thousands of people. We used to have liberals like Jocelyn Newman, with experience and wisdom. Its not a popularity contest.
Vote Black not Green
Greg, she’ll do whatever Erich tells her.
Good luck Mrs Black, the Liberals with their warts and all will be our next State Government so get used to it folks, Tasmania have enough of a Labor goverment that no longer represents the voters but concentrates it efforts on supporting the Greens and forest extremists.
