The Hodgman Liberal Government welcomes the completion of the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner’s report into expunging historic criminal records for consensual homosexual sexual activity.
The Liberals both in Opposition and in Government have supported the expunging of convictions for various historical offences that have since been repealed in Tasmania. Doing so will be a complex legal and legislative process and we will carefully consider the report and its recommendations.
Following careful consideration of the report we will be in a position to provide further clarity over the next steps in this process.
