On Peter's behalf, thank you for voicing your concern about devastating staff cuts to TMAG and other vitally important cultural and scientific institutions.
Peter stands with all staff, scientists, curators, researchers and storytellers who preserve Tasmania’s past, present and future, and is holding the government to account for these unjustified cuts to our cultural and environmental heritage.
On 8 September, Peter asked the following question in parliament on behalf of Friends of TMAG, specifically regarding cuts to the research facility at Rosny.
On 25 September, Peter issued a Media Release questioning whether the Government’s cuts to institutions that protect Tasmania’s cultural and natural heritage are part of a desperate scrabble to pay for the Macquarie Point Stadium.
On 27 September, Peter posted on Facebook in support of the TMAG Herbarium.
If you haven’t already, please sign the Parliamentary e-petition sponsored by the Greens calling on the Government to maintain funding and invest in TMAG.
Thank you again for making your views known on this important matter.
Warm wishes
Dr Rayne Allinson | Electorate Officer
Office of Peter George MP | Independent Member for Franklin
