I reflect on it from time to time and think that the six short years that I have had has added 20 years to my life, so I can only imagine what 18 or 20 years may have felt like to Paul Lennon. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/06/whiteley_tribute_to_paul_lenno.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/06/whiteley_tribute_to_paul_lenno.php Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:20:22 +1000 [11.04 a.m.] Mr WHITELEY (Braddon - Motion) - Mr Speaker, I move - That the House take note of the following matter: health outcomes in Tasmania. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/06/health_outcomes_in_tasmania.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/06/health_outcomes_in_tasmania.php Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:41:02 +1000 Mr WHITELEY (Braddon) - Mr Speaker, we can see the very reasons why, in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, the Premier of this great State was labelled as 'unsatisfactory' - that is, hostile. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/04/matter_of_public_importance_in.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/04/matter_of_public_importance_in.php Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:58:17 +1000 Mr WHITELEY (Braddon) - This minister does not understand the issue and used every excuse and every wall of words he could find. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/04/matter_of_public_importance_au.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/04/matter_of_public_importance_au.php Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:53:51 +1000 What was interesting about the Premier’s 2008 Agenda yesterday was it was devoid of any reference to health, aside from motherhood statements like “we must continue to invest strategically in our health system”. All of our public hospitals will tell you that we are not investing wisely in our health system. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/03/2008_state_of_the_state_respon.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2008/03/2008_state_of_the_state_respon.php Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:19:27 +1000 Mr WHITELEY (Braddon) - The issue of health is a top-of-the-mind matter for Tasmanians at this time. Tasmanians know that there are many problems within our health system and they are also wise enough to understand that decisions today impact on the outcomes of tomorrow. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2007/11/public_health_amendment_smokin.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2007/11/public_health_amendment_smokin.php Wed, 14 Nov 2007 08:28:51 +1000 Mr WHITELEY (Braddon - Motion) - Mr Speaker, I move - That the House take notice of the following matter: the value of the nursing profession in Tasmania. http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2007/10/the_value_of_the_nursing_profe.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2007/10/the_value_of_the_nursing_profe.php Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:01:49 +1000 Mr WHITELEY (Braddon) - Mr Speaker, we are here today to debate one of the most important ethical questions ever to come before this Parliament. The Human Cloning and Other Prohibited Practices Amendment Bill 2007 seeks to allow the creation of embryonic humans for experimentation and ultimate destruction. The science may be complicated and I accept that, but the basic ethical question is simple. Is it right or is it wrong to clone an embryonic human in order to perform destructive research on them? http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2007/10/human_cloning_bill.php http://www.brettwhiteleymp.com/speeches/2007/10/human_cloning_bill.php Tue, 23 Oct 2007 17:29:12 +1000
