(b) that this highlights the Bartlett Labor Government’s determination to improve Tasmania’s literacy and numeracy levels and post year 10 retention rates;

(e) the State Government is also establishing a Targeted Youth Support Program for 10 to 17 year olds to address a gap in services for young people who without intensive intervention are at risk of developing chronic problems. (4 November 2009)

834 Mr Hidding to move—That the House:—

(1) Confirms the need for the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, from time to time, to close wild fisheries for periods to allow for rebuilding of stocks and long-term sustainability of the fishery.

(2) Notes that:—

(a) these closures are properly done at the request of the relevant Fisheries Advisory Committee which has made its decision based on science, catch history and first-hand industry experience and with proper notice so businesses can continue to operate;

(b) the Minister for Primary Industries and Water recently gazetted a one month closure of the commercial garfish fishery in Tasmania, following some three years worth of discussion by his Scale-fish Advisory Committee, but has done so in a manner which has severely affected the business operations of garfishermen due to:—

(i) a completely outrageous minimal three week timeframe to inform these commercial fishermen of the cessation of their business for 30 days;

(ii) the timing of the closure being carefully selected to sit precisely on the 4 week premium table fish season at the Melbourne Fish Market;

(iii) no apparent science that this closure period is the peak spawning period of the year for garfish in the Upper Reaches of Tamar estuary and Bass Strait;

(iv) the complete omission of the garfish species from the recent major scalefish review by the Wild Fisheries Management Branch, an omission which ensured that no commercial garfisherman has had any input into the management of their fishery for many years; and

(c) the foregoing is evidence of ongoing incompetence in the oversight of wild fishery management in Tasmania by the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, Hon David Llewellyn MP. (4 November 2009)

(1) Notes with grave concern the proposed logging operation planned for 186 Mountain Rd Lilydale Title Ref: 122587/3, PID 1809506).

(2) Further notes:—

(a) the proposed logging is proposed for a 220 acre block that includes critical areas of water catchment for the towns supply and immediately abuts Lilydale’s town water intake, which lies 100 m downstream;

(b) the proposed logging is predominantly a clear felling operation with some selective harvesting, followed by conversion of land to E.nitens plantation albeit with some regeneration to native forest along the southern boundary and north-east corner;

(d) that over 75% of the land proposed for logging is under Launceston City Council Scenic Protection Zones and any development will adversely impact on the landscape character and residential amenity of the area, with subsequent impacts on property values and that the natural values enjoyed by bushwalkers and tourists who hike the summit of Mt Arthur will be diminished.

(3) Calls on the Bartlett Labor Government to ensure that in line with previous commitments that this conversion of native forests does not occur and that immediate steps are taken to protect the Lilydale township’s water supplies and landscape values. (4 November 2009)

(3) Acknowledges:—

(a) the partnership between Events Tasmania and O’Neill provided significant tourism benefits to the State;

(b) that the event injected more than $300,000 into the North-West economy;

(c) that this is a clear demonstration of why the Bartlett Labor Government has injected an additional $1 million this year to help retain and attract new events to Tasmania; and

(d) that through the Government’s support of events like the Coldwater Classic we will continue to get the message out that Tasmania is one of the world’s greatest places to visit. (4 November 2009)

(4) The effect that lowering the milk price to National Food Australia Pty Ltd suppliers will have in suppressing the price paid to suppliers by Fonterra and the flow on effect that that will have on the Tasmanian economy.

And that the number of members to serve on the part of this House shall be three and that the committee report by 19 December 2009. (5 November 2009)

(3) Calls on Hon Will Hodgman MP to:—

(2) Notes that this is only one of a number of examples of this Government playing catch-up on matters relating to the economy.

(3) Also welcomes that the Government has now adopted the Liberal’s call for wage restraint, noting that the Premier has now placed on the table the possibility of a wage freeze for the public sector.

(4) Calls on the Premier, prior to attempting to negotiate a pay freeze for the broader public sector, to adopt the Liberal position of entering into negotiation with senior bureaucrats at Senior Executive Service level to gain their support for a pay freeze at their level, before expecting a nurse, a teacher, or someone in the police service to freeze their more modest salary.

(5) Calls on the Government to adopt the Liberals call for an aggressive tourism marketing campaign, a Liberal initiative which is now accepted and adopted by the State’s premier tourism body as sensible policy.

(6) Welcomes the Premier’s belated decision to close the Canberra office, a decision the Liberals have been calling for since it opened.

(7) Welcomes the Premier’s admission that ministerial offices have been allowed to become bloated and that already $500,000 has been slashed as per Liberal policy.

(Next Speaker: The Minister for Primary Industries and Water)

22 Traffic (Double Demerit Points) Bill 2009 (No. 23): Second reading. (Mr Rockliff)

23 National Broadband Network: Adjourned Debate on the Question proposed on Wednesday, 19 August 2009 by Mr Hulme—That the House:—

(1) Notes:—

(a) the enormous social and economic benefits Tasmania is set to gain from being the first Australian State to have the new National Broadband Network (NBN) rolled-out, starting in July 2009;

(b) that the Tasmanian Government was the only State Government to lodge an NBN submission, reflecting our strong commitment to capitalising on the opportunities for the ICT sector;

(c) that the Prime Minister’s extraordinary leadership and support for Tasmania will quickly see this State become the most connected place on the planet;

(d) that it will see more than 200,000 Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) connections across Tasmania, representing the vast majority of the State’s homes and businesses, including towns with populations of well under 1,000;

(e) that the roll-out will provide an economic and employment boost for Tasmania and bring major advantages for businesses relying on high-speed broadband, for consumers and in the areas of health and education; and

(f) condemns the State Liberals for opposing Tasmania becoming the world leader in the roll-out of FTTP technology.

(2) Calls on the Liberal Leader, the Hon Will Hodgman, to reverse his party’s weak and lazy decision in the dying days of the 2006 State election campaign to sell Tasmania’s fibre optic assets for a paltry $20 million – a decision which would have prevented this new Federal Government investment in Tasmania worth several hundred million dollars.

24 Coles Bay Jetty: Adjourned Debate on the Question proposed on Wednesday, 19 August 2009 by Mr Hidding —That the House:—

(1) Notes:—

(a) that after 11 years of State Labor Government, in full knowledge of the deteriorating condition of the Coles Bay Jetty, in spite of constant reminders from the State Opposition; the commercial fishing industry; recreational boaters; commercial charter operators; and the local community, the Government has done absolutely nothing about addressing the options for action to resolve the matter;

(b) the State Liberal position, backed by industry, has been that Marine and Safety Tasmania should take responsibility for this asset; and

(2) Condemns the plans by the Parks and Wildlife Service to ban access to the jetty and close the facility within 12 months. (Next Speaker: Mr Hidding)

25 Education Amendment (Publication of School Results) Bill (No. 52): Second reading. (Mr McKim)

(2) Notes that:—

(a) the extension of the fibre-backbone from Port Latta to Smithton and new local optic fibre networks will see a new era in telecommunications for Circular Head;

(b) it is great to see Smithton together with Scottsdale in the North East and Midway Point in the south chosen as key regional centres to be the first to benefit from the roll out of the ground-breaking National Broadband Network; and

(c) this is just the start with broadband to be delivered to 200,000 Tasmanian homes and businesses over the next five years.
