It is particularly important for our Parliament to show leadership and accountability, given the fact we have now had two elections in a row that have given rise to community questions,

concerns and eroded the confidence of Tasmanian citizens in this pillar of their democracy. I can already hear the Naysayers: "Move on ... accept the results". I do accept the

result, the return of the Liberal Government in the Lower House and the results in Derwent and Windemere, but this inquiry is the only responsible course of action to put serious and genuine

concerns to rest and work to ensure they need not arise again.
