Tasmanian Labor
Tasmanian Labor respects the outcome of the Federal Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area Values Assessment.
Shadow Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Michelle O’Byrne said Tasmania has some extraordinary Aboriginal heritage and it needs to be protected.
“Our island is home to thousands of years of aboriginal history and it is important that we protect and respect this,” Ms O’Byrne said.
“Given the Tasmanian Government have embarked on a pathway to Treaty with Tasmanian Aboriginal people, a commitment that has Labor’s full support, the government should now as a demonstration of good faith, confirm they will cease trying to reopen these tracks that have been closed since 2012.
