Convener of Now We the People (Tasmania), Tim Thorne, said, “There are a number of important and interlinked issues which are in danger of being swept aside during the election campaign by a flood of superficial matters which it suits the politicians to discuss. We the people must keep raising these issues, attempt to elicit meaningful responses from candidates, and vote according to those responses.
