Health In Focus
Article by the Hon Rebecca White MP, Shadow Minister for Health and Labor Member for Lyons
Health Matters
There is lots of talk about the pressure on the budget and the burden on the health system. However the real pressure will be that put on Tasmanian families who will need to find more money to afford the services they need to stay healthy.
The Federal Government has announced their intention to charge a $7 GP co-payment and a $5 co-payment on prescriptions, undermining the concept of universal health care. Continue reading
The Say
By Cagerattler
The other day I was recalling the heady days of SMACD to a friend who didn’t live here at the time…the St Marys Association for Community Development in its heyday was truly one of the best things that has ever happened to our town, without a shred of a doubt.
That first public meeting instigated by Annette Wines was a watershed and an incredibly inspiring event that several hundred people attended. Within a very short time various community groups were consulting, working together and (with the help of Council resources in some cases) the whole town started jumping after years of apathy… Continue reading

The Say
By Cagerattler
Here we go – I knew this would happen.
This “We have a mandate” Federal Government is about to impose an unheralded levy and other measures on us, which will really hurt many low/single income families. One percent of say $40,000 is $400; for so many people amounts like that may well wipe out a small tax refund needed for helping with something vital. Continue reading
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor
I would like to add my two bob to the Richardson Road Reservoir debate.
I have been a keen observer of the reservoir over the past ten years by way of its capacity to reduce nagging to a tolerable level. Grab the fishing rod and a couple of stubbies and watch the float jiggle as the trout play with the hook while surrounded by an absolute Tasmanian diamond. I sat on the wall one day while a platypus and two pups swam at my feet. I blinked, they crash dived and came up for air about 30 meters away. Continue reading

Dear Ms Dawson
Richardson road dam – St Marys
I refer to our previous emails in regard to the existing status of Crown Land containing the Richardson Road dam.
I also refer to previous emails and telephone conversations between Acting Break O’Day Council Mayor Hannah Rubenach and myself regarding this matter.
I have undertaken some research into the Crown land and the dam and can provide the following information:
The Crown land has a status of unallocated and was accessed in 2006 under the Crown Land Assessment and Classification Project (CLAC). The dam was noted within the report and comments were sought from the Break O’Day Council.
In 2007, Break O’Day Council comments noted that the land contained water supply infrastructure used for emergency purposes only and would consider having the site containing the dam transferred to local government ownership. Continue reading
