Tas Labor
On behalf of Tasmanian Labor I congratulate Michelle O’Byrne for being chosen by the parliament to become Speaker.
Michelle’s knowledge of parliamentary processes is unrivalled among Tasmanian MPs. Michelle was the best person for the job – that’s why we nominated her.
We know Michelle will be fearlessly fair as Speaker. That is a good thing.
Throughout her career she has demonstrated a commitment to upholding the highest standards of accountability and transparency and I am certain she will make a terrific Speaker.
Ms O’Byrne’s shadow portfolios will be distributed accordingly:
- Sarah Lovell will become Shadow Minister for Children and Youth.
- Ella Haddad will become Shadow Minister for Community Services.
- Jen Butler will become Shadow Minister for Women.
- Meg Brown will become Shadow Minister for Heritage & Arts.
The Economic Development shadow portfolio will be brought under Anita Dow as Shadow Minister for Industry and Regional Development.
