Allison’s Priorities

Growing up on the Eastern Shore and being married with 2 children, Allison has an intimate understanding of local issues and loves working directly with people and community organisations to find common-sense solutions to improve the quality of people’s daily lives.

Some of Allison’s priorities for Pembroke will include:

ENSURING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A SAY:

Opposing moves by Labor and Liberal to remove the rights of communities to have a say on development. Allison will ensure you have a voice as part of a planning system that operates with integrity and independence.

PROTECTING PUBLIC ASSETS:

Labor and Liberal cannot be trusted to protect key public assets. Allison is the only candidate proposing to introduce legislation that will require a REFERENDUM OF THE PEOPLE before any Government can sell key assets such as our energy, water and transport.

COMMUNITY SAFETY:

Advocating for more police in the right places, connected with the community.

BAN ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP:

A permanent ban on foreign investors buying residential properties and land. The pressure on so many in our community around access to affordable housing and rental stress is entirely due to the fact there is simply not enough housing to go around.

ENVIRONMENT:

Allison will continue to support the protection of the Eastern Shore's unique skyline and improvement of community parks and the environment.

CHILD PROTECTION:

Allison was the first elected member to advocate for mandatory sentences for paedophiles, lobbied for the Tasmanian Commission of Inquiry and will continue to support strong child protection measures.

COST OF LIVING:

Allison will campaign for a review of rental increases and property maintenance for public housing tenants. The rent should not increase every time your Centrelink payment does!

YOUTH SERVICES:

Allison will champion the development of a new Youth Services Hub on the Eastern Shore.

COMMUNITY & SPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE:

The Eastern Shore has insufficient and ageing infrastructure. Allison will advocate strongly for new and upgraded infrastructure for community and sporting facilities.
