Tasmanian Political Opinion

In a recent survey, all members of the Tasmanian Legislative CouncIl and House of Assembly were invited to give their opinion on the objectives of the DwDTas Legislative Charter. To keep things simple they were asked to choose between the following four options:

(A) Support of the charter
(B) Support but with some qualifications
(C) Opposed to the charter
(D) Decline to answer/no response


Click on any of the names in the list below to see how they responded.

How did your elected representative respond? Each received up to 4 emails requesting a reply and yet many still declined to answer or gave no response. If yours failed to reveal their opinion on our Charter, why not write and urge them to take an interest in these issues and to share their views with those that elected them.
