41st Speaker of the House of Assembly

I am proud to have been sworn in as the 41st Speaker of the House of Assembly at Government House today and Iā€™m humbled and honoured to have the support of my colleagues.

The role of Speaker is returning to its natural home in Lyons and I return to the role with the intention of being a traditional Speaker ensuring that members uphold the dignity of the House.

In particular, I intend to focus and enforce standing order 144 so that members do not impugn the character of other members.

As a proud representative for the people of Lyons, I will continue to work hard for my electorate and look forward to continuing to support the good work of charities such as St Giles and many others. I also look forward to working with community groups to ensure that the outstanding work of their volunteers are recognised.

I wish all members success in their roles representing the Tasmanian community during the 50th Parliament.
