Minister launches new website

The Assistant Treasurer and Labor Senator for Tasmania, Senator Nick Sherry, has launched a new website – www.nicksherry.com.au – to keep in closer touch with constituents and stakeholders.

"The Rudd Government is working hard to deliver all Australians world-leading internet capability with a $43 billion investment in the National Broadband Network."

"With Tasmania the first link in the NBN, there's no better time to go online," the Assistant Treasurer said.

"This website will allow a more personal connection with my constituents, especially those in my home state of Tasmania, and with portfolio stakeholders right across Australia."

"Visitors can get the latest news from me on what's happening in Tasmania, the Federal Parliament, on tax and economic matters and other issues within my portfolio responsibilities."

"They also can view video of official events, post comments, email me and receive messages through Twitter and Facebook."

"I'm looking forward to having even closer contact with constituents, whether they are in Tasmania or around Australia – their feedback is important to me and to the Government."

"The site has been designed by award winning local Devonport company, Xazz Media and I think it looks great."

"I'm a proud resident of Tasmania's North-West and the new site has an unashamedly Tassie feel to it."
