Drum out the government

Join TAP’s next real community forum, not the Government pretend community forum. A peaceful gathering for a better democracy.

What Have your say from the real community forum soapbox, 2 minute speakers invited. Have some fun banging your pots and pans telling the politicians what you really think. Bring pots, pans, drums, bugles – anything to make a noise with lots of others.
Where: Port Dalrymple School, Cimitiere & Agnes Streets, George Town.
When: 11.30am Sunday, 25 October.
Why: The State Government is coming to George Town to "hear your ideas and listen to your views" about issues and concerns relevant to the Tamar Valley. Here is your  chance to tell them:

  • Voter concerns have been deliberately ignored by politicians who we pay more than $108,000 a year each to represent us. Now they want your vote.
  • The corrupted fast-track assessment looked only at benefits, not the costs including job losses in tourism, wineries, agriculture and fishing, declining property values and damage to health.
  • Most of the jobs will be for imported specialist workers not Tasmanians.
  • Millions of our taxpayer funds have already been diverted away from failing essential services (hospitals and schools) to subsidise forestry and the mill (at least $250m/year).
  • All ways of seeking compensation for harm through the courts were closed in special legislation written for Gunns.
