Conflicts of interest and poor governance continue to dog Tasmania’s environment. Yet we have heard little on how fundamental governance issues will be resolved by any future government.
There is a widespread perception that there is one law for forestry and another for everyone else. Now the water toxin revelations in St Helens have created a crisis of public confidence in our drinking water.
How will each party restore public trust and improve governance?
Our Common Ground is holding a public forum in Launceston. We have asked Labor, the Liberals and the Greens how they would:
• remove conflicts of interest in ministerial portfolios;
• remove conflicts of interest in government bodies;
• fix the regulation of forestry so that there is a level playing field; and
• properly investigate and fix the contamination of our drinking water catchments with toxins.
Join us in Launceston to hear their answers.
12.30 pm Thursday 11 March
Function room 6, Grand Chancellor, 29 Cameron St, Launceston
Invited speakers: representatives of all political parties and regulatory authorities.
Other Speakers: Dr Andrew Lohrey, Peter Cundall, Dr Wynne Russell, Dr Andreas Ernst, Dr Phill Pullinger.
