Cassy O'Connor

This community campaign began in March 2004, when Sydney-based developer Walker Corporation announced its intention to construct Tasmania's first canal housing estate in the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area east of Hobart.[2][3] In June 2010 the legal confirmation of the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area as being 171 hectares came into effect, therefore preventing Walker Corporations proposed canal housing estates.She first won the seat of Denison on a countback of votes on 21 July 2008 after the sitting member and leader of the Tasmanian Greens Peg Putt resigned earlier in the month.[14] psephologist Kevin Bonham called her win three hours after the counting had started, due to her maintaining around 40% of the first preference votes, whilst the largest of the other candidates hovered around 18%.[15] In November 2024, O'Connor stood by claims she had made that president-elect of the United States,Donald Trump, and Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi were "fascists" and "toxic to life on earth".
