Any Tassies about here?

You have a new Premier.

Giddings honoured to be next Tas premier
Ms Giddings says it will be an honour to become Tasmania's first female Premier.
The Prime Minister has congratulated Lara Giddings on her likely rise to become Tasmanian premier, after outgoing Premier David Bartlett announced he was standing down to spend more time with his family.

In a statement, Julia Gillard says Ms Giddings is an active cabinet minister and well placed to take on the role.

Ms Gillard has also thanked Mr Bartlett for his service to the State, and congratulated him on his achievements in education and with the National Broadband Network.

Mr Bartlett has endorsed Deputy Premier Lara Giddings to replace him and expects the Labor Party to elect her as leader tomorrow.

He says Ms Giddings has the credentials to face the state's economic challenges and to lead the power-sharing Labor-Green Government.

"She has extraordinary communication skills, much better than mine, and she has skills that I think are required for the coming 18 and 24 months," he said.

Ms Giddings says it will be an honour to become Tasmania's first female Premier.

She says she would welcome the challenge and Bryan Green has agreed to stand for Deputy Premier.

It will be the second time Ms Giddings has made political history. She was youngest woman ever elected into an Australian parliament when she was elected to Tasmania's House of Assembly as a member for Lyons in 1996.

After losing the 1998 election, Ms Giddings was returned to Parliament in 2002 in the Franklin electorate on Hobart's eastern shore.

She has held a variety of portfolios including her current roles of Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Attorney General and Minister for Justice and Arts.

Greens leader Nick McKim has thanked the outgoing Premier for his hard work to establish Tasmania's historic power-sharing government, formed after last year's hung election.

Mr McKim says he is confident this can continue with Ms Giddings as Premier.

He says if Ms Giddings is elected by the Parliamentary Labor Party, she will have won the position on merit, but it will be great to see a woman in the top job.

But Opposition Leader Will Hodgman says David Bartlett has failed to provide Tasmanians with a stable government, and he does not expect Ms Giddings to do any better.

Mr Hodgman says he respects Mr Bartlett's reasons for stepping down, but says Tasmanians deserve more from their premier.

"We were promised stability, we were promised that by both Nick McKim and David Bartlett after last year's election and they said that they would govern in the best interest of Tasmanians well they've failed on every front, they've failed to deliver," he said.

"Lara Giddings has been part of that and as of tomorrow she'll apparently be Tasmania's next premier."

Happy Australia Day!!! 🙂

I'm hiding in my room doing homework and watching How I Met Your Mother while my brother and his however many friends party downstairs.
 
Happy Australia Day!
Spent the day at Sellecks Beach, sun, beers, BBQ, cricket and Hottest 100!
An F16 did a low flyby over the beach for everyone, it was quite frankly the coolest thing ever, to hear the sonic boom! And a damn DeLorean beside me, doors raised on the beach. Great day.
 
I like HIMYM but I still think my Oz Day was better than any HIMYM episode (sw)
