Mr LYONS (Bass) (13:59): I rise in the House to raise the issue of WIN Television axing its weekend news service for Tasmania. The decision to cut news has cost jobs, including a vital camera position in Northern Tasmania. By cutting the weekend news, WIN has effectively delisted Tasmania as a state. The national Nine bulletin from Melbourne has no relevance for Tasmanian viewers—and thank the Lord we do not always get news of Ted Baillieu as our Premier, but this weekend we will. Any loss of local services affects Tasmania, affects diversity in the media and affects people's choice. WIN's sacking of Tasmania is a kick in the guts for Tasmania and it is a kick in the guts we do not need.
The SPEAKER: Order! It being 2 pm, the time for members' statements has concluded.
