Invitation – The Australia Institute, 28 April 2022
Two Australia Institute Events in North-West Tasmania
Next week the Australia Institute Tasmania is heading to north-west Tasmania to host two community events: another Senate Candidates’ Forum and a community meeting on Ocean Management. We’d love to see you there!
Ulverstone Senate Candidates Forum next Tuesday 3 May
With the federal election only weeks away, there’s no better time to talk to your candidates about integrity in politics.
With constant reports of pork-barrelling, dishonest political ads, donations from vested interests and no federal corruption watchdog with teeth, it’s time to help fix politics.
Come along to the Australia Institute Tasmania’s Senate Candidates’ Forum and hear from Tasmania’s Senate candidates about their plans to improve integrity in politics. Registration is free, but essential.

Ocean management in the 21st Century: Why do we need a State-wide Marine Plan for Tasmania?
Tasmania’s coastal waters are globally significant, but depleted fish stocks, ignored flow-on effects, threatened species and paltry habitat protection show that the state’s primary marine law is failing to achieve its objectives.
This, alongside pollution, climate change and no State of the Environment Report since 2009 call for fundamental improvement to our ocean management framework.
- FACT: More than three in four Braddon voters are concerned that Tasmania’s ocean is under pressure from climate change, pollution, and fishing and support the government taking action to make sure it stays healthy for future generations
On Wednesday 4 May, the Australia Institute Tasmania is hosting an important community forum to discuss your concerns about the state of Tasmania’s coastal waters amid the landmark law review currently underway.
The Review of the Living Marine Resource Management Act 1995 provides the best opportunity in 26 years to achieve a sustainable ocean economy with effective protection, sustainable production and equitable prosperity.
Ocean management in the 21st Century
Wednesday 4 May, 5.30pm-7.00pm

Come along on 4 May to our community forum at Stanley Town Hall to hear about why a state-wide Marine Plan is the best way to manage our state’s waters, how Victoria is leading the way, and what sustainable ocean management can look like for Tasmania. Registration is free, but essential.
