Your independent Senator for Tasmania.

What we're working on

Tammy works with everyone who's willing to help, to get things done for the people who need it.

Build houses, not stadiums

The stadium would be a terrific idea — if we didn't have a housing and healthcare crisis, if we didn't already have two, and if it were based in Launceston.

Stop the government shutting down family day care centres!

We don't have enough childcare as it is; shutting down successful, safe and community-backed centres is about to make things a whole lot worse.
