Tasmanian Policy Positions

The Tasmanian Division is currently working on policy positions on specific Tasmanian issues, including education, health and agriculture.

Please check back soon for details.

The Bell Bay Pulp Mill

The Tasmanian Division of the Australian Democrats feel that the Tasmanian people, and people of the Tamar Valley in particular, were denied the normal due diligence and open process that should have been applied to the approval of the proposed Gunns pulp mill to be built in Bell Bay.

We believe there is one opportunity to right this wrong. We believe that the issue of whether the pulp mill should go ahead should be put to a referendum.

See our press release on this issue

We're Rebuilding.

Every great comeback story is built around ingenuity, focus, and hard work. Often, these stories feature people who simply refuse to stay down or stay quiet when it's time to defend what's right.

The Australian Democrats are coming back.

What do the Australian Democrats stand for?

Our 5 core beliefs underpin everything we stand for. They determine our every action, objective and policy. They emphasise how the Australian Democrats believe government should operate in a free and democratic Australia.

1. We should all be free to live our lives how we want to.

2. Every Australian should have equal rights and opportunities.

3. We should care for the world around us to sustain our resources, our economy and the well-being of future generations.

4. Our representatives should put the interests of people first, weighing all perspectives to develop fair, inclusive and lasting solutions.

5. We must take responsibility, individually and collectively, for our nation and its people.

There are lots of great reasons to become a member of the Australian Democrats. Read more and sign up online on our national website.

You can make a difference!

To re-register the party in Tasmania we need 100 members on the Tasmanian electoral roll. We're close - but not quite there. Please join today to help us reach that goal.

Once you have joined, we need you to complete the statutory declaration form and return it to us ASAP by mailing it to PO Box PO Box 139 Launceston TAS 7250. Alternatively call Jeremy on 0424289840 or Tim on 0413535502 to arrange to drop it off in person.
