Together with my crossbench colleagues I have called on the World Heritage Committee to protect Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area by supporting a Reactive Monitoring Mission to Tasmania and reinstating State of Conservation reporting. #auspol #politas

We wouldn’t be ok with our kids seeing three tobacco ads an hour, but this fed gov is fine with it being gambling ads. It is simply no justification to say media & sporting codes wouldn’t survive without them. Even if this was true, our kids are worth more than that. #auspol #politas

New boundaries announced today by AEC are bold & necessary. I’ll be sad to say goodbye to the people of Glenorchy but thrilled to be given the chance to represent more of the south. Will make for a fascinating contest at the next election; one I am looking forward to. #politas

Good grief, Tas Gov rolling out the red carpet for online gambling companies while also admitting our regulations are outdated is ludicrous. Time for a new number plate: Tasmania – the gambling predators’ state. #politas #auspol

It’s hard to take seriously the Govt’s claim it’s interested in protecting children when their gambling 'reform' still allows 3 gambling ads/hr on TV and virtually unlimited ads online. We must stop letting these companies groom kids to gamble. #auspol

A woman is killed by a current or former partner every week in Aus. The gov’s National Plan to End Violence Against Women & Children is well intentioned, but without action & resourcing it’s a media release. We can & must do better #politas #auspol

The Albanese government try to ignore gambling harms, but they can't forever. If you're one of the millions of people affected by gambling addiction, or even if you're just sick of all the ads, let your MP know that they need to do more. Go here: www.stopgamblingads.com.au #auspol

China’s new Orwellian ‘Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress’ aims to accelerate the assimilation of Tibetans, and others, into a single Chinese national identity. It's appalling and must be resisted in the strongest terms.

It’s always hard to believe the Tasmanian Government can stoop lower, but they always seem to find a way to plumb new depths #politas

The Govt's gambling "reforms" arrived today. They're useless. The PM should personally explain why protecting gambling companies, media companies and the major sporting codes is more important to his Govt than protecting the interests, and lives, of Australians. #auspol #politas

The social media ban isn't working and is giving parents a false sense of security about their kids' online safety. Misconceived, poorly designed and badly implemented. If it can't be fixed it should be scrapped. And the tech companies must be forced to clean up their act #auspol #politas

The legacy of nuclear weapons and testing is still felt deeply in Australia, our region and across the world. The campaign to abolish nuclear weapons is more important now than ever, and Australia should sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) #nuclearban #auspol

It’s hard to imagine how anyone could see the dreadful harms caused by gambling in this country and not try to do something about it. But the Prime Minister and this Federal Labor Government still won’t act in the public interest. Tell them to act now: www.stopgamblingads.com.au #auspol #politas

Carbon abatement is only credible if it's from an additional saving. If the NSW govt gets away with seeking carbon credits for the Great Koala National Park, promised at an election back in 2015, how can we have confidence in the integrity of any carbon offsets? #auspol #politas

Blaming immigrants might be a well-worn and politically convenient diversion, but it won’t lower a single rent payment or build a single new house. I wrote this opinion piece on the housing crisis for The Mercury: andrewwilkie.org/2026/06/hous... #auspol #politas

Disappointing that the Federal Government is not prepared to moderate AusPost's network changes. Yes Local Post Offices need to evolve, but not at the expense of essential services. The LPO is not only a small business, it's also a key part of the community. #saveourLPOs #auspol #politas

Data centres will play a big role in the future economy. But we expect the Govt to plan ahead, set clear rules and stand up for the national interest. That means ensuring growth is sustainable, communities are respected, and the public receives a fair return. #auspol #politas

Tasmania is a beautiful place full of incredible people and I’m glad every day for the opportunity to continue to get to know it and its people better #politas

The Fed Govt is seeking to open up new areas of ocean between Tas and Vic for the oil and gas companies. This priceless natural environment is already under threat from the twin climate and extinction crises. We should end this madness now. #auspol #politas

The Government and Opposition are avoiding meaningful gambling reform because, in their heart, they have no humanity #auspol #politas
