		The island of Tasmania, an Australian state, is located 240 km (150 miles) south of the eastern portion of the continent, being separated from it by the Bass Strait.
		Tasmania was once inhabited by an indigenous population, the Tasmanian Aborigines, and evidence indicates their presence in the territory, later to become an island, at least 35 000 years ago.
		Tasmania's relatively low population density and temperate, maritime climate mean that it is rich in unspoilt, ecologically valuable regions.

	Premier of Tasmania Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In many nations the term "premier" is used interchangeably with the title of "prime minister." For example, the "Italian Premier" or the "Japanese Premier." In the People's Republic of China it is used somewhat more commonly but still interchangeably with Prime Minister (See also: Premier of the People's Republic of China).
		A ''Premier'' is the head of government of a province (in Canada) or state (in Australia); the ''Prime Minister'' is the national, or federal, head of government.
		In the Soviet Union the title of Premier was applied to the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars or, after 1946, to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

	Australia Shamed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The only sight sadder in Tasmania than the stuffed thylacine in the Hobart Museum is that of a desperate politician reworking the oldest trick in the island's politics.
		The hoary old favourite was most recently trotted out by Deputy Premier Paul Lennon who, faced both with an imminent election and the recent destruction of heavy forestry machinery, felt the need to associate conservationists with this lamentable vandalism, and in so doing attempted to take us all back to brawling in the clearfells.
		Who can forget the sadness of Tasmania in the 1980s, when we were persuaded to hate one another, when it wasn't safe to walk into pubs in some Tasmanian towns looking vaguely Green in dress or deportment, when bushwalkers cars were regularly vandalised and the politics of hate determined much of government policy.
