Farewell to Lyn
After exactly 12 years of service, Senator
Lyn Allison retires from the Senate on 30 June 2008.
In the Senate, Lyn has battled on behalf of the common good. She has led
numerous ongoing campaigns - mental health, public education,
reproductive rights, aboriginal advancement, energy efficiency and
greenhouse, opposition to nuclear, welfare reform, international aid and
on and on.
Lyn has proved herself a superb tactician and strategic thinker. She has
sought influence and found allies - in academia, the community and other
parties - to advance the myriad causes she embraced.
In retirement, Lyn will continue her relentless activism - details soon.
She carries from the Senate an enormous reservoir of respect and
goodwill and fully intends to use it.
The Senate Needs Democrats
The
media and rival parties publicly belittle the steadfast contribution
of the Democrats: the continual detailed scrutiny and improvement of
government legislation, the defence of individual liberties, our
preoccupation with the environment and those people left behind or
excluded from society.
But behind closed doors, these critics acknowledge the difference we
have made to the quality of government. They value our clear
thinking, willingness to fight for lost causes and decrying of
senseless populism. They know we will be sorely missed.
