Restorative Justice

The Commission has released a new issues sheet in the Fairer Tasmania Series. This one deals with restorative justice and is a follow up to the previous sheet on prisons and rehabiliation. This is our contribution to community conversation and has been informed by experiences from Tasmanian schools and justice systems as well as national and international research. Click below for a PDF of the Issues Sheet.

Gambling

The Commission has researched and prepared an Issues Sheet on gambling, with a particular focus on the Tasmanian situation. The paper summarises the nature and extent of problem gambling and its social implications.

Read a copy of the Issues Sheet here.

 

Forestry

Forestry is, unfortunately, an issue which has divided many Tasmanians for too long - Tasmania is too small to be divided over this or any other issue.

The Commission has released its Forestry Discussion Paper to the Media, stakeholders and all Tasmanian Catholic Parishes following a desire to inform and engage people on the issue.

The paper itself doesn’t claim to provide definitive answers but instead a layperson’s experience in seeking some perspective about Forestry practices.

Read a copy of the paper here.
