Greens leader praises MP number agreement

02 Sep, 2010 06:15 PM

Tasmanian Greens leader Nick McKim has hailed as historic the agreement signed today between the state's three political leaders to formalise an approach to restore the numbers of MPs in the House of Assembly.

Mr McKim said that the agreement demonstrated the benefits of a power-sharing Parliament and a collaborative approach to politics.

“This signed agreement is a major milestone in the Greens’ 12 year campaign to restore the numbers of the House of Assembly, and restore a functioning Parliament for Tasmanians,” Mr McKim said.

“It is testimony to the opportunities presented by power-sharing Parliaments, and a commitment to working together to deliver progressive outcomes for the community.”

“I sincerely thank David and Will for their constructive and collaborative approach, and I look forward to working with them to progress this issue to a resolution,” Mr McKim said.
