By any metric, as a Nation, we’ve failed Indigenous Australians. It's high time we found a better way. That’s why I’m supporting the Voice. To listen to Indigenous Australians about what’s best for them, and provide a seat at the table on matters that directly affect them.

My support is clear, but I know good people can disagree respectfully on this. My vote has the same value as everybody else, and rightfully Australians will have the final say. What I know is that we need to move forward, with unity and purpose. Together.

Really sad to hear confirmation this morning, that the opposition would bin our AFL team if given the chance. That means $130 million for York Park, gone. Thousands of jobs, gone. Housing for our health workers, gone. $360 million for local football, gone.

We’re 100 per cent behind the Matildas. But we won’t supporting a public holiday. Our small businesses are often the first to sponsor and support our grassroots and elite sports. It’s too much to expect them to shoulder this cost too.

There is no place in Tasmania for racism. Full stop. John Kamara has a fundamental right to be judged on the merit of his ideas, not his ethnicity. The attacks directed at him, for putting his hand up to represent his community are abhorrent and have no place in Tasmania.
