I experienced this a few days ago, this is what the consequences are; waste of fuel, time, more emissions, motorists become frustrated and take chances.

I noticed Lindsay Street between Tamar Street bridge and Charles Street bridge was full from end to end, all trying to access either of the bridges.

I can't imagine what this area will be like, when we add in about 15,000 people entering or leaving the proposed new campus for University of Tasmania.

I'm sorry I can't find a solution but maybe some traffic flow experts can.

I AM sure every pensioner like myself appreciate the pensioner three-monthly electricity concession we all get on our electricity bill.

It looks great on the energy account, but when you read the account every three months, charges and credits charges are more than the concession.

Quite a while back there was a letter in The Examiner about this charge. It's about time Aurora explained exactly what these charges are for.

I am just a person, add the other thousands of other Aurora customers, it's a huge amount of money.

The Prime Minister Scott Morrison is giving a one off payment in July for certain singles and couples to help with their electricity, I sincerely hope our credit and charges don't take that away from us.

Aurora please explain exactly for everyone in this beautiful state of Tasmania, why we are paying this amount above our normal Aurora bill.

AS THE mother of a transgender child, I want to say a big thank you to all those MPs who voted for the recent transgender legislation.

It means so much to my child that they can now have a birth certificate that reflects who they are.

The bravery and determination of MPs like Sue Hickey, Ella Haddad, Cassy O'Connor and Ruth Forrest is an inspiration for many Tasmanians, not just those with transgender loved ones.

One thing that saddens me is that some people continue to say there wasn't proper consultation and scrutiny, and there should have been another inquiry.

There was more scrutiny, consultation and debate on this bill than just about any other legislation in recent years.

The result was not only Australia's best laws recognising and protecting transgender people, but a sound, robust law that is a model for the other states. Further debate would have just delayed an important reform and meant more pain for families like mine. On top of that, the government's preferred vehicle for an inquiry, Tasmanian Law Reform Institute, never conducts inquiries into legislation currently before parliament, so that was never an option.

I urge the state government to stop grizzling about this important new law, and instead join us in the new Tasmania where everyone is equal regardless of gender identity.
