Survey Responses
This was a yes/no survey with the option of adding further comments.
Do you support the right of faith-based schools and organisations to only hire people who share their ethos?
Yes. This is a basic freedom people and groups must have: to choose their own members based on their own preferences.Do you support the push to ban ‘conversion therapy’ (including prayer and faith-based counselling) for people who are struggling with their gender or sexual orientation?
No. No one should compel anyone else to change their orientation or lifestyle, equally no one should prevent anyone from seeking or offering assistance to do so.Do you support banning biological males from competing in women’s sport?
No. I don't support a blanket ban as undemocratic. Each women's sport body should set their own participant criteria, without government interference. Sports such as shooting or billiard are different to weight lifting or box. Parallel organisations will likely exist, one of which will allow only biological women.
Would you support the formation of a parliamentary committee to ensure the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse are properly implemented?
Yes. Anything to stop child sex abuse will have my full support.Do you support banning late-term abortions (when a baby’s life is viable outside the womb), except where the mother’s life is at risk?
Yes. I would not criminalise women or doctors, as abortions are traumatic enough on their own, but women should be encouraged, supported and rewarded to choose better options, such as adoption.Do you support compulsory pre-commitment cards for poker machine users?
Yes. Anything that's proven to reduce harm will have my support.Do you support ongoing state funding of Dark Mofo?
No. Any event misappropriating Christian symbols (still the dominant religion in Tasmania), while free to do so, should not be funded by taxpayers.Do you support the decriminalisation of recreational drugs?
No. Anything that's proven to reduce harm will have my support.
