Every year at Budget time the Greens do the work to lay out a clear, big hearted, evidence based alternative plan for Tasmania.

As Greens Leader, I am proud to be standing on a unity ticket with Jeremy Rockliff and Rebecca White today to back in a Yes vote on the Voice referendum.
The Premier has no choice but to remove Roger Jaensch from the Aboriginal Affairs portfolio.
We rise to speak on the issue of Tasmanian Aboriginal people on the land of the palawa pakana people in front of the Aboriginal flag.
I pay my deep respect to the palawa Tasmanians, to representatives who stand in the Chamber today because of their protest to the words of this minister.
This minister has lost the confidence and the faith, not only of the Greens, he has lost the confidence and the faith of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
Premier, will you sack him because he will not stand by and has lost the confidence of Tasmanian Aboriginal people?
The Tasmanian Constitution recognises Tasmania's Aboriginal people as the traditional and original owners of Tasmanian lands and waters.
As for calling the Tarkine/takayna the 'so-called Tarkine', poor Mr Young does not know his history and does not understand the facts.
I acknowledge and pay my deepest respects to Tasmania's Aboriginal people, the palawa pakana.
