Welcome

As a passionate Tasmanian, I am proud to represent the State as a Labor Senator and thank the Tasmanian people for electing me to this privileged position.

I see my role as giving a voice to Tasmanians through Federal Labor policy and debate. I will endeavor to apply the values of the people who elected me into the Senate to ensure I am representing their interests. To do this, I will engage in conversation within the Tasmanian community, and urge you to share your views and opinions with me.

I will also endeavour to ensure people are informed as to why the Gillard Labor Government is making particular decisions, and what these will mean for Tasmania and Tasmanians.

I am driven by my beliefs and values of compassion, respect for diversity, equality of opportunity, and the care of our environment and quality of life. I look forward to representing these values as a member of the Gillard Labor Government.

Like you, I want a Tasmania that continues to thrive and prosper; where no one is left behind and every person has a chance to succeed.

I will work hard to stand up for the needs of all Tasmanians in the hope that we can share in a better future for all.

Best wishes,
Lisa
