An announcement of mental health support for small business has been clouded by questions about the Liberals' secrecy regarding hardship grant recipients
The Liberals' refusal to release details of where $26 million of taxpayer funds went through a business grants program is raising big questions in the community
On the International Day of Democracy, Premier Peter Gutwein dismissed public concerns about the need for political donations law reform in Parliament today.
In two recent cases, right to information disclosures have shown in black and white that the Minister has misled the Tasmanian people.
On statewide radio this morning, former Labor Premier and mouthpiece for Federal Hotels, Paul Lennon, called for real time disclosure of political donations.
It’s good to see Labor come to the party on electoral donations law reform in Tasmania. It’s a pity, however, that they stopped at the door.
Fundamentally, it is instructive about the way this Government approaches doing business which is 'it is our way or the highway'.
The Greens are pleased State Parliament will be returning next week. During this time of emergency and uncertainty, scrutiny of government is critical.
Mr Gutwein’s announcement that Parliament will return to more regular sittings will be welcomed by Tasmanians.
Tasmania has the weakest donations disclosure laws in the country. In Parliament today, the Premier showed again he has no interest in fixing them.
