Do you support the right of faith-based schools and organisations to only hire people who share their ethos?
Yes. My view on this is not restricted to faith-based schools. All private organisations should have the right to hire and fire based on their prejudices without restriction by Government.

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. People should be allowed to participate in any activity, however scientifically spurious, so long as they do so of their own free will. Existing laws on coercive control are sufficient to cover cases where family members could attempt to compel a person to participate in 'conversion therapy'.

Do you support banning biological males from competing in women’s sport? 
No. Women's sport codes and leagues are private organizations. They can decide who can and cannot compete. Sporting codes are overwhelmingly for profit ventures and I'm confident the market will decide there is no appetite for watching biological men compete against biological women.

The only exception I would consider is high school contact sports at public schools, since these are funded by the Government, the Government should ensure children aged between 12-18 only compete against their physical peers for safety reasons.

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. The Tasmanian Government has been an abject failure at child protection, more oversight on the Commission of Inquiry is definitely required.

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? 
No. I personally find late-term abortion abhorrent, and I've campaigned against legalization and decriminalisation of abortion in NSW. We lost every one of those campaigns. Every piece of statistical analysis suggests the Australian Right has broadly lost the argument on abortion. Continuing to waste time, resources and energy on it is folly. My advice to conservatives of every persuasion is if you do not agree with abortion - don't get one.

Do you support compulsory pre-commitment cards for poker machine users? 
No. I've worked as a consultant for the casino industry and know full well that they are champing at the bit for pre-commitment cards. The average daily losses for semi regular patrons are around $300. A pre-commitment card of $500 will increase those losses by $200. Further, the pre-commitment cards allow casinos and poker machine operators to further cut staff in cash handling and security. They reduce maintenance requirements on poker machines as they cut down moving parts. Pre-commitment cards only profit casinos, and the community loses from the reduction in jobs. I support an across the board 10% increase to keno, gaming and wagering taxes and the end to the Tasmanian poker machine monopoly, and the establishment of a second Hobart casino restricted to high limit wagering.

Do you support ongoing state funding of Dark Mofo? 
No. There is no need for the Government to fund a successful for profit enterprise like Dark Mofo.

Do you support the decriminalisation of recreational drugs? 
No. My experience in law enforcement policy is decriminalisation is merely a tax break for criminal enterprise. The risk of interdiction by law enforcement is priced into the cost of illicit drugs. Drug dealers do not lower prices when drugs are decriminalised, they simply pocket the margin in reduced interdiction. I do not support the current medicinal cannabis regime where users are simply lying or exaggerating to untrained health workers over the phone to acquire extremely high potency cannabinoid products previously reserved for palliative care to use recreationally. I do support the legalisation and taxation of cannabis, which could net governments billions in excise and support the agricultural sector, as well as divert limited police resources to more pressing concerns.
