Election of Premier Gutwein

On behalf of the Tasmanian Greens, I acknowledge Will Hodgman’s many years of service to the people of Franklin, and to Tasmania as Premier.
Tasmanians don’t know what the relationship between the former-Minister and her then-Secretary has had to do with this approval.
One of the first major pieces of work that the Integrity Commission did was to develop those draft codes of conduct.
In the last sitting week of Parliament under the Hodgman Liberals, all the Premier’s chickens are coming home to roost.
Throughout this term of government, the Liberals have shown a disregard for proper process and the avoidance of conflict of interest within their own ranks.
The Minister for Local Government failed to explain why he is ordering a Glenorchy Council election for early January, but leaving the Huon Valley another year.
The Premier's woeful, stumbling performance in Question Time today points to a man for whom real leadership is an ambition beyond reach.
It is a great privilege and responsibility to be appointed as a Minister of the Crown and the conduct of Ministers must reflect a higher standard of behaviour.
Will Hodgman made it clear he is prepared to put cheap political purpose ahead of the concerns of the business community over the size of Parliament.
