" We need to concentrate on creation of jobs in our forest industries through downstream processing and value adding our unique timbers."
"I've got three children and I'm committed to protecting Tasmania's beauty and creating long term employment for our young Tasmanians, to position ourselves as a centre of excellence and an example to the world. Maintaining our genetic engineering free status, and the promotion of organic and biodynamic food production, would lead to long term employment in the bush and enhance our international reputation. "
"During my time on Meander Valley Council, including my stint as Deputy Mayor, I focussed on youth opportunities, tourism, waste management, sustainable job creation and the protection of our natural environment. As President of the Meander Primary School Parents and Friends I successfully fought off attempts by the Government to close this community school."
"The relentless rollout of tax driven plantation schemes threatens our local communities and is destroying a uniquely Australian way of life. Forestry needs to be brought under community control, in order to protect our rural communities."
"We have to clean up the Tamar River and recognise and promote Launceston as a centre of excellence for education and the arts."
