These stories by Terry Newman, former Parliamentary Historian. Terry has previously published several books connected to the Tasmanian Parliament including Referenda in Tasmania [1984], Tasmanian Premiers [1988] and Hare-Clark in Tasmania [1992]. His latest book, Becoming Tasmania; renaming Van Diemen's Land, [2005] explores and explains Tasmania's name change and how this renaming was interwoven with making Tasmania 'convict free' and obtaining self-government.
