It’s not about protecting women. Or sport. It’s about something else. #OlympicGames #boxing #WomensBoxing

Happy IDAHOBIT! For the 2nd year, Meander Valley Council has flown the 🌈 flag over the council chambers. Today, our council says proudly to our LGBTQIA+ community: we see you, we hear you, we love you. Thank you for being part of our Valley ♥️ #politas #lgtas

If we are going to get better outcomes for Tasmanians from this Parliament, we need a strong Speaker. That’s why we will be nominating @ChelOByrneMP.   Michelle’s knowledge of parliamentary processes is unrivalled among Tasmanian MPs.   Her commitment to upholding the highest standards of accountability and transparency throughout her career makes her a very strong nominee.   #politas

The MP only briefing on the Blake report has further compromised confidence in the response to the CoI. It confirms the @TasLiberal policy of secrecy. Victim/survivors deserve so much more respect than this. As do all of us. Start again. Do Better. #politas

Replying to @WaratahWynyard
@WaratahWynyard Mayor and Break O’Day Council Deputy Mayor spoke passionately at the @LGATasmania Conf requesting the TasGov increase resources for @pwstas. Low staffing in PWS results in delays for Councils regularly. It was carried unanimously #politas #LgatConf23

I’ll work with the community, my colleagues, and the State Govt. to ensure this Local Government Review works for the people of Tasmania. But the State Govt. needs to make the same assurances that they will work in good faith with the Local Government sector. #politas #lgtas

There’s a lot of talk about council amalgamations at the moment. Whilst these discussions are ongoing, I want to make one thing clear. I will stand by my community. I will ensure they have a voice and fair representation. 1/- #politas #lgtas

Communities in Carrick, Hadspen, Prospect Vale, and Blackstone Heights are currently being lumped with Launceston in several amalgamation proposals. The Meander Valley is the third lowest rating council in Tasmania. Launceston is significantly higher. 2/- #politas #lgtas

Meander Valley residents shouldn’t have to pay Launceston’s expensive rates without proof that they will be better off. Council reform needs to work for the people, not against them. 3/3 #politas #lgtas

The Local Government Minister Nic Street needs to confirm that he will not use the stroke of a pen to merge #lgtas councils by stealth. #politas

Happy #MardiGras! 🌈 It was great to march with TasPride and my good friend, Mayor Michelle Dracoulis. There’s been a lot of hate preached in Tasmania recently. Us two local government representatives stand firmly for inclusivity and with the trans community #politas #lgtas

Scotty Morrison had a throne built for himself. What a waste of money 💰. It’s never been used. Not the way to get Evandale on the map. How many dunny’s were built for the former PM?? Is this the new Amazing Race to find Scotty’s dunny’s. #politas #auspol

I am beyond happy to sign @ASU_VicTas’ candidates pledge. I will support council staff, preserve public services, and always act in the best interest of my community. That is my pledge to you and you can see it in writing right here 👇 #politas #lgtas
