The Tasmanian Greens today again demanded that the Tasmanian Liberal
Party publicly apologise for their involvement with the discredited
'hate ads', during the 2006 State Election campaign, for which the
Exclusive Brethren have apologised.

Greens Leader Nick McKim MP said that despite recently admitting that it
colluded with the Exclusive Brethren to produce anti-Green advertising
material which denigrated transgender and intersex people by stating
that their human rights are a threat to society, the Liberal Party had
still failed to apologise.

"Will Hodgman must publicly apologise for his Party's actions during the
2006 state election campaign, which the Exclusive Brethren have done,"
Mr McKim said.

"I am very disappointed that neither the Premier nor the Leader of the
Opposition have guaranteed that their respective parties will not engage
in this kind of hurtful behaviour in the future."
