I rise not to restate the entire case because it has been very well done by this side of the House, including the last speaker who has laid out the various alternative priorities to the Tasmanian people. I congratulate Will Hodgman and his team, his entire office, and Peter Gutwein, his shadow treasurer, for a sensational job. This was not a pretty exercise at all. It was a gut-wrenching exercise when you saw the numbers rolling out in this State Budget, and we have laid out a case against the Budget that is the shameful proof of years of Labor mismanagement. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2011/06/budget_reply_speech_june_2011.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2011/06/budget_reply_speech_june_2011.php Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:42:11 +1000 Mr HIDDING (Lyons) - I acknowledge the depth of feeling with which the previous speaker has delivered his contribution. I am not sure if the Speaker should have not checked with the coroner as to whether he should have put much of that material on the Hansard, but that is a matter for him. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/11/speech_on_euthanasia_legislati.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/11/speech_on_euthanasia_legislati.php Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:05:11 +1000 Mr HIDDING (Lyons) - Mr Deputy Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Tasmanian Liberals for granting a conscience vote on this matter. It was a conscience vote granted by the then leader in 2003 and so therefore it is appropriate that it be so again; indeed, our rules are basically that if one person wants a conscience vote that is what the situation will be. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/08/relationships_bill_comothering.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/08/relationships_bill_comothering.php Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:33:16 +1000 Mr HIDDING (Lyons) - Mr Speaker, the State Opposition is of a mind to support the Greens' motion. The language of the motion is appropriate. It calls into question the motivations and actions in collapsing a department in a fashion and with outcomes that we have expressed concern about. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/06/abolishment_of_depha_speech.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/06/abolishment_of_depha_speech.php Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:10:29 +1000 Mr HIDDING (Lyons - Motion) - Mr Speaker, I move - That the House (1) Supports the policy position of the Tasmanian Liberals that all front-line police vehicles in the Tasmanian Police Service should feature high visibility markings to increase the visible police deterrent on the main roads and highways throughout the State. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/03/high_visibilty_police_vehicles.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2009/03/high_visibilty_police_vehicles.php Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:19:48 +1000 I am pleased to bring today a bill for an act to amend the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 to ensure that all Tasmanian police officers have more equitable access to workers compensation. Earlier this year the State Opposition announced that it would be developing policy to address the fairer treatment of Tasmanians who are injured in the course of their employment. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2008/11/police_workers_compensation_ac.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/speeches/2008/11/police_workers_compensation_ac.php Wed, 12 Nov 2008 11:24:36 +1000
