Felix going on about emergency management but neglects to mention that his own TFS workforce took action to have their role in emergency management recognised #politas

Anthony Dodd 7 Tasmania News LOUD AND CLEAR FOR THE POLLIES WHO NEED A REMINDER: Public servants aren’t just firies, nurses, teachers and cops. They’re the backbone of every service you take credit for #politas

Felix Ellis MP Pretending you care about Police and first responders…. at the same time as you have cut 5 jobs from the TasPol Family and Sexual Violence Command and left a further 20 plus workers without job security. The hypocrisy 👺 #politas

They’re all essential. Like the state servants in the Radio Dispatch Service that DPFEM wanted to cut. Those people answer your 000 calls!!! Hardly backline, and absolutely essential. #politas

The ALP leadership, cabinet and caucus are increasingly out of touch with its members and the community on recognition of Palestine. We need leadership not banal excuses and capitulation to the US and Israel. Never thought the ALP could sink so low! theguardian.com/australia-news…

Always easy to identify an irrelevant, stale, old man by their histrionic tweets about how much they hate young women and don’t see them as valuable assets to a functional society. Resenting women’s accomplishments on the basis that your own are so pathetic, cool cool cool 🤡

So many things so many people could/should have said. ALPs affirmative action is celebrated. Comments like this show serious lack of respect. Imagine being supported by women in your career then trying to tear them down, gross. #politas #fuckthepatriarchy #tasmanianlaborparty

George Santayana, what a line

The cross bench doesn’t need policy backflips, it’s a progressive parliament and these issues can be decided on the floor of parliament. What they do need is committments around transparency, procedure, process and open data so that they can make informed decsion #politas

Liberal government will consult on budget repair; this will require a 180 on previous behavior, given they have refused every request to meet, to provide any data that would assist with oversight and have left it to HofA to make all the decisions #politas

Note that Tasmanian Labor has included Sexual Violence in the Prevention of Family Violence portfolio. This is significant. Survivors deserve a government willing to name it, face it, and end it. 💪 #politas

A conversation about revenue crucial. State service isn’t bloated like the former govt would have us believe. TCCI seem premature in calling for business as usual. State service told caretaker still exists, what em do they expect them to do? #politas

kurt Oh, and remember he wanted to privitise our govt services but backflipped on that too 💁🏻‍♀️Tasmania needs stability and certainty.

Not sure they know, as public sector bargaining was continued during the election campaign, cancelled until the writs were announced and is back on again.

kurt Dean Winter A lot of workers in NRET who would love to see increased regulation for a sustainable salmon industry etc The biggest threat to salmon isn’t government policy it’s social license, and strong fair regulation helps industries ensure they are sustainable.

lol. Yeh. Believe em… if you want. Let’s see how that’s worked out before.

Pollies: Here’s an idea. Listen to the workers tell you all the ways they know we can make #changenotcuts to state service. Fund the backline to provide revenue… like monetary penalties, compliance teams etc. hundreds of thousands to be found there. #politas

Ask John Tucker, Lara Alexander, Rebekah Pentland, Andrew Jenner and Miriam Beswick how well ot worked out for them after they were promised all sorts of things. He lies. #politas
