The position became vacant following the resignation of former councillor Helen Burnet, who was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly seat of Clark following last month’s state election. Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds congratulated Dr Sherlock on her election. “I am confident Cr Dr Sherlock will work tirelessly for the betterment of the city of Hobart, and I look forward to working closely with her,” Cr Reynolds said. Deputy Lord Mayor Zelinda Sherlock said she prides herself on her ability to take a considered, compassionate, measured and evidence-based approach. “An approach that adopts a methodology of compromise and respect to decision-making,” Cr Sherlock said. “Our city sits on the precipice of major change. “In the past six years that I have been on the council, what is noticeable about the significant transitions that are at the heart of our city is the requirement to understand the perspectives of the many hearts that beat within our city. “It is incredibly special that I come from humble beginnings, immigrating to Tasmania with my family from Fiji, and I received my Australian citizenship in this very building in August 2000. “It is a beautiful feeling to feel like I belong because belonging is such a central part of what it means to be a human being. “I am profoundly humbled and sincerely honoured to hold the role of Deputy Lord Mayor.” More on page 2 Hobart City Council has elected the new Deputy Lord Mayor at the recent council meeting.

Greens member for Bass Cecily Rosol said there is no service more important to our community than Ambulance Tasmania. “The Mercury’s report about an ambulance communications worker that suffered serious psychological damage due to critical staff shortages was deeply distressing,” MP Rosol said. “What’s even worse is that right across the state we have staff in the ambulance service who are experiencing real suffering and harm.” Most important community service The Sexual Assault Support Service (SASS) has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer. Chair Kellie Dean said Shirleyann Varney was selected from a strong field of candidates. “Shirleyann, who will commence in the role on July 1, brings significant experience in the not-for-profit sector,” she said. “She is currently CEO of Volunteering Tasmania and before that was the CEO of the Drug Education Network (DEN). “Her prior experience was in Scotland in the care sector, including supporting survivors of various forms of abusive trauma.” Ms Dean said Ms Varney’s appointment was a critical decision for the board to take the organization forward. “We are looking forward to working with Shirleyann to refresh SASS’s strategic plan and ensure our organisation can meet current and future challenges and harness opportunities that present to us,” she said. “She will provide our team with stability, strong and authentic leadership and opportunities for personal and professional growth.” SASS is a Hobart-based, free and confidential service for people of all ages who have been affected by any form of sexual violence. It provides counselling, advocacy and support services for survivors of sexual violence, working with anyone affected, including family, friends and support people. Strong and authentic leadership The new Sexual Assault Support Services CEO Shirleyann Varney was announced recently. (PS) The draft Hobart transport strategy and draft parking and kerbside management plan will be available for public consultation from May 1 to May 31.

Provide feedback on transport On April 29 there was a commemorative service at Unions Tasmania on Liverpool Street as part of International Workers’ Memorial Day (IWMD). IWMD is marked globally by unions and workers each year to remember those who have been killed or seriously injured in their work, and to push for stronger safety laws to prevent future workplace deaths. In the decade to 2022, Tasmania had 87 workplace-related fatalities and around 7500 workers’ compensation claims from injured workers each year. Unions Tasmania Secretary Jessica Munday said these services were an opportunity to mourn, reflect and give dignity to those who lost their lives because of their employment. “Over the recent election campaign, Unions Tasmania secured commitments from Labor, the Greens and the independent members to introduce industrial manslaughter laws,” Ms Munday said. “With a majority of the House of Assembly now in support of these laws, it is time for the Rockliff Government to drop their opposition, stand up for workers, and make industrial manslaughter law in Tasmania.” Remembering lives lost at work Police attended reports of two separate crashes on the Tasman Highway Hobart, Tasman Bridge bound on April 30. Traffic continued to flow but some delays were reported. No injuries were reported. Two crashes on the bridge From front page.

hobart weekly news I TUESDAY, 7 MAY, 2024 3 On Wednesday, May 1 there was a candlelight vigil on Parliament Lawns in remembrance of domestic violence victims. The event has been running annually on the first weekend in May since 2009. Similar events were held in Ulverstone and Launceston. Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said the vigil was significant in light of the recent tragic loss of lives from domestic violence and nation-wide protests. “This event is particularly important at this time when we are seeing a sharp rise in the number of women killed by a violent attack so far this year,” Cr Reynolds said. In 2023 there was an average of one woman being killed each week by an intimate partner in Australia. This year there have already been 27 lives lost with an Australian woman being violently killed every four days. Engender Equality Chief Executive Officer Alina Thomas said it is important that the community joins together against family violence. “This is an issue that we need to face together so we can stop the violence from happening in the first place,” Ms Thomas said. “We also need victim-survivors and their families to know that we care, that we believe them and that we will make a stand. “For every woman who is killed there are thousands who live their lives in fear, walking on eggshells, trying to keep themselves and their children safe. “The vigils share the message that victim-survivors are not alone, that there is a community that cares and that we want to see an end to all family and domestic violence.” Cr Reynolds said the candlelight vigil aimed to create a space to acknowledge the impact of domestic and family violence within our community. Greens Family Violence spokesperson Tabatha Badger said the Tasmanian Greens offer support and solidarity for the victim-survivors of family violence, and honour those who lost their lives. “The stories from victim-survivors and the voices of advocates have resonated loudly across the nation and have helped shine a spotlight on an issue that has too often been ignored. “Their strength and courage have helped create a major opportunity for real change. “Violence against women is an epidemic and a national emergency. “This is an issue that transcends politics.” Tasmanian Aboriginal Legal Service CEO Jake Smith said violence against women continues to be an unaddressed and significant issue across the country and here in Tasmania, for all women. “For Aboriginal women in Tasmania, the perpetrated violence is more severe and disproportionate,” Mr Smith said. “Aboriginal women are 11 times more likely to lose their lives to assault than non-Aboriginal women, and three in five Aboriginal women experience violence by a male intimate partner. “More needs to be done. “More supports are required.” If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence or abuse, help is available. Please contact the Family Violence Counselling and Support Service on 1800 608 122. The Hobart City Council Planning Committee has approved a development application for a change of use to the boarding house at 3 Alexander Street, Sandy Bay. The proposal includes a change of use for all existing and proposed rooms (a total of 18 licensed residents to be accommodated on site), removal of ground parking spaces, construction of six large rooms, construction of two living/kitchen areas and creation of disabled parking space with five existing parking spaces. A report will be prepared and presented to elected Hobart City Council members on ways to improve tree protection on private property. It will summarise measures other councils across Australia use to protect trees, including successful laws, policies and programs. The council will also monitor a similar policy currently being undertaken by neighbouring Kingborough Council. Removal of trees on public land will also require an approved development application. Boarding house changes approved Council asks for tree report We care and we believe you Passionate activists flare-up Protesters from the Bob Brown Foundation with lit flares interrupted the final Street Eats at Franko on Friday, April 26. They called for an end to post-logging forestry burns. (PS) The final Street Eats at Franko in Franklin Square on Friday, April 26 was interrupted by a group of protesters from the Bob Brown Foundation. The group lit flares and stood on the steps of the Department of Treasury and Finance building behind the square around 50 metres from the crowd. The group called for an end to post-logging forestry burns in Tasmania, which they say fill Tasmania’s air with toxic fumes and destroy the state’s native environment. The Bob Brown Foundation has recently launched a website called Forest Watch that monitors logging and burning activities in native forests across Tasmania. Foundation representative Jenny Webber said their message to the public was clear. “Your government deliberately lights these fires after destroying native forests, and they must be banned,” Ms Weber said. “Using satellite surveillance, government and citizen science data, we are holding Forestry Tasmania to account by showing what goes on behind locked gates in Tasmania.”
4 hobart weekly news I TUESDAY, 7 MAY, 2024 Cornelian Bay Point land will be leased to TasWater for one year and then monthly after that for up to two years to facilitate the TasWater Macquarie Point to Selfs Point pipeline project. The lease area, valued at $40,700 per annum, will be used for bulk earthworks, stockpiles and amenities. After the lease, the land will be returned to its original contour and replanted with coastal vegetation. The lease does not require public advertising due to its short term. TasWater must bring only clean fill to the site, with the city retaining safety fences. TasWater will also be responsible for restoring the land after the lease period. Cornelian Bay Point land leased The Triple P Positive Parenting Program recently shared the results of its largestever parenting survey, which revealed the concerns parents have about social media and screen have on their kids’ mental health and wellbeing. Almost 85 per cent of parents who allow their kids to use social media have conflicts with them about it, with 43 per cent reporting that they do so at least once a week. Fiona Lohrbaecher is a home-schooling parent in Hobart who has found screen time and social media to be less of a concern. “As a home ed parent it’s easy to set restrictions for screen time,” she said. “I hear the same thing from a lot of homeeducating families. “My personal observation is that a lot of people (kids and adults) use screens to not feel alone; busy parents with busy lives are not able to give their kids the time they need, so kids go online to feel less alone and have some human connection. “While many home-educating families will use computers and iPads for education, a lot use books and practical, hands-on activities. “There is also an understanding of the educational aspect of gaming, online research and computer technology. “There are home ed students who are computer whizzes, designing their own websites, their own games, repairing and rebuilding computers. “When talking to other home ed parents, some are dead against screens, some see the value, and most seek to maintain a healthy balance and ensure that screens are utilised in a positive way.” Triple P founder and University of Queensland Clinical Psychologist Professor Matt Sanders said that 8304 parents and carers responded to the survey and provided a comprehensive snapshot of the key issues shaping the experiences of a large and diverse group of families across the country. “The results expose what’s really going on for families in Australia right now, set against a backdrop of compounding financial pressure, an increase in kids’ mental health and wellbeing concerns, and the growing issue of school refusal,” Professor Sanders said. Parents are highly likely to be concerned about protecting their child/children from potential online dangers. There are also high levels of concern among parents regarding the impact of social media platforms on their children’s mental health and well-being. “These results highlight just how important it is for parents and carers to have the knowledge, skills, and strategies to positively guide their children’s use of social media and screens. “It’s normal to feel in the dark about what to do but having open and honest conversations with children about technology early and often can help,” Professor Sanders said. Despite the concerns, the survey also revealed that eight out of 10 parents are confident their child will have a better life than them. Social media a concern for parents The day began with a solemn dawn service and ended with family events in John Turnbull Park.

Hobart Weekly News wants to shine a light on the local news of Hobart and the southern communities. W16879 The Tasmania Law Reform Institute (TLRI) has published A Charter of Human Rights for Tasmania?, a review of its report first published in 2007. The new paper makes 21 recommendations on human rights in Tasmania, including a charter of human rights or human rights act and an independent human rights commissioner. Co-authors TLRI Principal Research Fellow Dr Rebecca Bradfield and former director and Adjunct Associate Professor Terese Henning launched the report on April 30. “It remains the view of the TLRI that there is a need for a Human Rights Act for Tasmania in seeking to protect human rights, develop a human rights culture across government and to frame parliamentary debate,” Dr Bradfield said. The new report’s recommendations include that the state’s laws be reformed through the enactment of a Tasmanian Charter of Human Rights or a Human Rights Act, that the charter or act cover public functions including emergency, utility, public housing, education, health, disability and transport services, along with the operation of correctional and detention facilities and that a direct form of redress be available to victims where a public authority has breached the new laws. Independent Member for Nelson Meg Webb welcomed the updated report, describing it as timely with Parliament set to resume next month. “The TLRI’s latest report is a welcome milestone in the push for comprehensive human rights protections in Tasmania,” Ms Webb said. “This report reiterates the need for a Tasmanian Human Rights Act that protects human rights, develops a human rights culture across government and frames parliamentary and community debate. “Significantly, the TLRI’s report emphasises the need for an explicit right to adequate housing and an explicit right to a healthy environment, amongst a range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. “Should the TLRI’s recommended Human Rights Act and Human Rights Commissioner both be established, Tasmania’s human rights laws would lead the nation.” The report recommended the new measures be phased in over two years. The project was funded by a grant from the Law Foundation of Tasmania. The City of Hobart Rating and Valuation Strategy 2024-28 has been endorsed by the council recently following an extensive 12-month review. The strategy guides rate-raising practices for the next four years. It addresses concerns about rate increases, especially for commercial properties, through differential rating and maximum rate increase caps. Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said the strategy prioritises fairness and sustainability. “Through measures like differential rating and rate increase caps, we aim to ensure transparency and address concerns, fostering a city that’s equitable and thriving for all,” Cr Reynolds said. Rating and valuation strategy endorsed by council Calls for a Human Rights Charter in Tasmania On April 30, scholarships totalling over $133,000 were announced for agricultural science students at the University of Tasmania (UTAS). The Director of the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) Professor Mike Rose presented certificates to students at a celebratory afternoon tea in Hobart. The students are enrolled in a Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at UTAS. “A degree in agricultural science develops industry-ready graduates who could pursue careers across a diverse range of roles including farmer, agronomist, government advisor, business or finance specialist, technology development or food safety,” Professor Rose said. “Young people have a real reason to be excited about the enormous potential and rewards of a career in agriculture. “Our students have an opportunity to address some of the world’s biggest challenges and opportunities using science, technology and business skills. Bronte Legro is a second-year agricultural science student who received the Neale Edwards Scholarship in Agricultural Science or Forestry, which is awarded based on academic merit. Bronte said that her passion for agriculture developed from an early age. “Witnessing the diverse and dynamic nature of the agricultural sector firsthand, I was inspired to pursue a degree in agricultural science at the University of Tasmania where I could continue working and building my skillset and network within the sector,” she said. “A career in agriculture excites me as the industry is always adapting and evolving, so there is always something new to learn.” Agriculture student’s scholarships announced Neale Edwards Agricultural Science scholarship recipient Bronte Legro was one of nine students from the University of Tasmania who were awarded $133,000 worth of scholarships recently.

Guest chef Vaughan Mabee will collaborate with Mona’s Vince Trim in a custom-built outdoor pavilion at Princes Wharf 1. Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said it was more important now than ever to support our festivals. “The flow on benefits to local businesses and tourism operators is clear and the vibrancy it brings to our darkest month has been a true game changer for Hobart. “I appreciate with extra cost of living pressures that many are taking a second look at how they spend every dollar which is why we’re so proud to support a festival that is doing what it can to increase accessibility by offering lower priced tickets across some nights and free entry for both Sundays this year. Dark Mofo artistic director Chris Twite welcomed the City of Hobart’s support of the event. “We are thankful for the continued support of the City of Hobart,” Mr Twite said. “As costs continue to rise for both the festival and those who attend it, these funds help us maintain the high quality of this unique event but also keep the Feast financially accessible.” Dark Mofo’s City of Hobart Winter Feast runs from June 13 to 16 and 20 to 23. Vibrant winter feast from Dark Mofo “This is the 11th year of the Feast, and we always receive very positive feedback from both locals and visitors about the quality of the food, the music and the atmosphere,” Cr Reynolds said.
